BIDDLECOMBE, OPPOSITE THE MARKET, OLINTON •••••..- NMI www COMMUNICATIONS The Naw ERA does not hold itself respon Bible in any way for communications appear ing in its columns ABOUT APPLES T o the Editor of the New Era. SIR —I received a circular from a farmer with the heading of Apples Wanted. I looked over its contents and I find that applee are de- sired on commission, which means that the far- mer ie to run all risks on his fruit after it leaves Clinton, or any other station, to a foreign mar- ket, where his brand or style of packing is not known. Consequently, when p aced on the same market with popular brands known to the dealer for 15 years or more in England, and have always given fair satisfaction he is not in it. You must also take into consideration the rise and fall of freight rates last season ; with a light crop the rate was 06 cents per barrel, with a heavy crop this season in view, they have raised the freight rate to O8Jj Dents per barrel, and like- ly to go higher as they come to beshipped, You must also take into consideration the steam boat accommodation. When there is a full crop it ie bard to got space for your apples, In years that are past I have known even my own apples to be shut out, and in November month got frozen as hard as bullete in the cars and on the docks in Montreal, and then not taken from there but sent around via Portland and Boston, by the G. T. R., to fulfil their part of the con- tract, and not arrive in England until after Christmas. Then when they arrive in England or Scotland you aresubjeot to dockage and coop - era e, which amounts to 7 ate. per barrel, also brokerage and commission, which will amount toabout 30ots.perbarrel atterarriving,before you will reoeive a cent for your apples, and I am in- formed an extra 10 els. per barrel will be oharged here for the information you will re- ceive about how your apples will be slaughtered in the Liverpool market. The past experience of some of the farmers in the year 1894 bears me out in my views. I that season paid to the farmers of Huron County $1.25 per barrel for their apples. Mr. Hattie, of Goderich town, formerly of Dungannon, ae he also stated, having 10 years' experience,wont around with about the same fad. I can give you the names, if desired, of a number of far- merethat were taken in by the fake game. What did they receive for their fruit when returns were made to them? 64 eta. per barrel for their apples, for which I offered $1.25, to some of them personally, and to the rest by my agents. If the farmers of Huron County desire -to have their applee handled in this way I will do it for 5 cte. per barrel. Having 15 years contin- uous experience—not every second or third year, but every year—I have made a fair success of it. 1 am not only known in Winnipeg and Great Britian, but in almost every market in the world Of any consequence, and have agents and direct communication with them by cable as well as by letter. Give me a show. It is a dead sure deal—no grumbling about it. In regard to the farmers getting their own barrels, it is a move in the right direction, Every farmer should got his own barrels and have them on hand, if possible, when the rush comes on, and if then you cannot sell your fruit to your satisfaction you can fill your barrels in the orchard, culling out the bad apples, shak- ing your barrels slightly when filling and then pressing the head in so that when you remove the barrel to your cellar or bank barn, you will not have the apples shift round in the barrel, They can then be handled very easily and when a purchaser c0nles tel repack them there will be but very little bad fruit. • They all will be handled by the spring sassed of the coming year, if properly taken care of. Do not put them in a warm place ; keep them 11 possible at about freezing point. In regard to prices, ihoy will be very low. Kindly reap Hamilton & Pritehard'e (Liverpool Glasgow and Montreal) report on apples who, having travelled over most of the apple -bearing dis- tricts in the United States and Canada, and forward or export apples to the English mar- kot,and whose viewscan be taken as thoroughly reliable. Although ft is written for men that are in the trade, I take the liberty of making it public. Considering the amount of apples that there is in Huron county this season I am pre- lared to keep the people posted as to the out- ook in general at all times. Thanking you, sir, D. CANTELON. RELIABLE AUTHORITY. GENTLEMEN —8 hope to start West towards the end of this week and look forward with pleasure to meeting you. From personal investigation into the N. Y. States and Eastern States Crops and from what I hear of the crops in Ontario I estimate that you have to handle the largestl quantity for ex- port to England ever known. To arrive at our position which at tithes is a speoulative one we have to consider many fac- tors relating to crops, markets, tall and winter growths, freights, eta. It ie true that England already wants Apples, as crops in Europe are insignificant. New York State can supply her with Fall Fruit, and Boston can come in a good second with her shipments of the sumo growth. These Apples wilt be in evidence on the English markets be- fore Canada is ready to ship. Now reepeoting Winters. Maesachussetts New Hampshire and down Eaet are loaded with Baldwins of excellent quality which will be ready for export on 7th September or a forte night earlier than usual. I know men who are setting their gangs to work on Baldwins in Massachussetts and New Hampshire, the first day in September. Hubbardstona will be shipped by then. The foregoing calculations will show you therefore, that in spite of exciting circulars the outlook is extremely gloomy for Canadian Fall Fruit. Boston Baldwins will be in England in competition with your Falls and I must tell you frankly from my 16 years' experience in the Liverpool Market that your Fall Fruit will stand no chance with good Red Boston Bald - wine of such elegant quality as this year pro- duces. You will naturally say we cannot buy the "Winters" without the "Falls." Then leave them alone ! Hero is an excellent opportunity for the progreesive farmer to continue the new hobby of shipping his own Apples. It may bo that when ho has shi ped his "Falls" he will want to sell you his "Winters." Having placed before you my ideas earnestly respecting "Falls" I now turn to "Winters." Past experiences have proved that excellent all around quality of Fruit is the principal ad- vantage Id gamble on. I think we have this Atedity this season, in fact there is no doubt of , if the large crops can mature without ehov tag the trees through the earth, Tam therefore of the opinion that prime Winter Fruit bought low enough to sell in Liverpool at -about Os, or los, allowing -an ocean freight of 8s. per bartel (which figure I think the steamer ?,41I ill ot) 'ought to be a fair spo0ulation and at is pride, pprovided no doinelhlizing.g glut Of Fall Frfiit takes piece *votpoot ought to toilette you Wel- ' liOklyr Of 73,000 • 85,000 a week anti Glasgow And Medea til p apor'tica"untilthe Middle of ;December, NO York lr tyttit pie selling la tilv'orpool • today at8e. to Ile.
