Frozen Express Packages.—T he usual 
grist of complaints of damage to southern 
fresh vegetables shipped to this market is 
being ground out, and these complaints pene¬ 
trate the cuticle of the express companies 
about as deeply as water does a cabbage 
leaf. In most cases this injury takes place 
on the platform where the stuff is unloaded 
or while in the delivery wagons. Thus 
whatever care may be taken during the tran¬ 
sit of these goods from the South is upset by 
carelessness or lack of reasonably safe hand¬ 
ling facilities at this end. Why should ten¬ 
der vegetables that have been fairly well 
cared for on a several-hundred-mile trip be 
left for even half an hour on the New Jersey 
terminal platform, with the mercury below 
20, and then rattled around for an hour or 
two in a cold express wagon before delivery? 
The only answer is the general don't care 
policy carried on by these express companies. 
It is a case of: ship your stuff by us and 
take the treatment we give you or keep it at 
home. Of course considerable stuff is re¬ 
fused, so that the company gets no express- 
age. and an occasional claim for damages is 
pushed through, but the charges on what is 
delivered and paid for many times over-bal¬ 
ance these losses, so why bother to make any 
radical improvement for cold weather hand¬ 
ling. when the business for a year pays a big 
dividend? AA T arm storage for the most perish¬ 
able goods and a svstom of quick delivery in 
closely covered wagons is needed, and if the 
rates charged at nresent are not sufficient 
to meet these needs, the.shinper could afford 
to pay a little more for the warm storage 
and special delivery rather than lose the 
goods entirely. 
ArPT.ES.—Trade lias been dull since the 
holidays, and receipts are rather heavy for 
current wants. On account of the inability 
of growers and buyers to “get together” last 
Fall the quantity of apples now in farmers’ 
cellars and country storehouses is greater 
than usual at this season. Apple buyers are 
making much of this fact, and claim that 
these country holdings, added to the amount 
now stored at all the large markets, will pre¬ 
vent any material improvement in price 
until very late in the Spring. It 
will not do to take very seriously the 
numerous “estimates” of the quantity of 
apples still unconsumed, ns they are sure 
to be biased by the business interests of 
those who give 'out the information. Those 
Oregon apnle growers mentioned on first page 
certainly do a good job and have an admir¬ 
able system for doing it, but they deal with 
a special trade and are working under spe¬ 
cial conditions. If all the large apnle growers 
in New York. New England, the Middle West 
and the Piedmont section should sort and 
pack in this way. no such prices could be had 
for boxed apples, because the multitde of re¬ 
tail apple buyers cannot or will not pay 00 
cents a dozen for apples. These western men 
are so far from their market that they can¬ 
not afford to ship any but prime fruit, and 
they are highly favored naturally in being 
able to turn out Jonathans and Spitzenburgs 
so richly colored that the limited quantity 
offered is taken by those to whom nrice is 
little object so long as they can get what they 
wish. It is the business of these growers 
1o turn out fruit up to this standard, and 
production of this sort is a different affair 
from growing the “barrel” fruit which is 
harvested in hundreds of orchards. The use 
of the box might well be increased to some 
extent throughout the East, but good judg¬ 
ment must be exercised to avoid turning out 
a nondescript product that would fall flat in 
a competitive market. There are. however, 
dozens of eastern apple growers who always 
use barrels, and are only ordinarily careful 
in grading, who can show just as favorable 
a balance sheet as these Oregon people, even 
after deducting the difference in freight paid 
on the long-distance shipments, w. w. tt.
