British Apple Market.
Andrew Fulton, overseas fruit rep-
resentative, reports that ;prices of ap-
ples in the British markets are likely
to continue at their present level until
the New Year. These • prices range
from 21 to 25 shillings for No.1 quad
ity red apples. He predicts that if in
creased prices :are to be obtained 'this
season at all, it will be -for shipments
arriving during'. January, February and
March. This is due to the heavy sup
-
plies of both barrels and boxes that
leave been arriving at all 'United King
dont ports and that'the provincial
markets, are filled up with apples, • as
very few have moved into consum'p
tion. There is also a lack of demand
on. 'the 'Continent, resulting in heavy
supplies coming to the United King-
dom. Boxed. apples are arriviing,;in ex--
ceptiionally large quantities, especial-
ly from British' Colombia, and auc
tion prices are low. ;The purchasing,
power in Great Britain, has been con-
siderably reduced • as compared witl.
last year and what was considered '. a
small quantity of apples two or three
years ago is now -a large quantity. The
result is that shippers are not l'i'kely
'to receive fancy prices for apples ,froni
now on, unless the rate of exchange
Shows spine improvement. 'There
should be a goad demand for, cook-
ing apples after the New Year. Mr.
'Fulton stresses 'the need of care in
m'arkin'g correct sizes on barrels and
the desirability of a uniform :end, at-
tractive "face" 'to sell the pack.'
