Boma, X'ublitther: ' ; • OUR APPLES IN ENGLAND. The Arrivals at Liverpool are very Heavy and prices down But Better in London. London, Oct. 3.—Woodall & Co. of Liverpool report the arrival up to dale of 200,000 barrels of apples, against 11,- 000 at. this time last year, but being al- most entirely early soft varieties they have completely congested the market. The week's quotations for sound ap- ples per barrel are; Culverts, 6- to 8e; Snows 9s to 13s; Kings, Ss to lOs to 14 61; Blenheims, $s tolls 3d; Hollands, 8s to As 6d; Greenings, Ss to los 9d. The condition of much of the apples is anything but. satisfactory, and the position causes anxiety. It is a serious question if, with simi- lar quaiitutieriarriving, the winter fruit will much improve quotations. White & Co. of London state their ar• rivals this week much heavier. Prices here are from two to three shillings per barrel Netter than at Liver pool, especially for good fruit. Greentngs seem in good demand here. as the apples corning are chiefly Bald wins; White & Co. advise shippers to send via Montreal, Allan or Thompson Lines, till the port closes. They have a contract with these lines and if given notice 10 days beforehand that any person intends shipping so many bar• cels to White, London, they will give the space, especially if mentioned that they are to come off contract. Mr Fred. Pritchard, representin Hamilton & Pritchard, of Liverpool, and Thomas Russell, of Glasgow, fur- nishes the following report.—Ce 0le- grams from Liverpool and Ginagow to- day report an unchanged and thor- oughly demoralized market for aril apples not strictly choice and ever, thi, quality is being ereriuusly effected ha large quantities of wasty fruit on tn. market. Liverpool reports that heavy rejections have taken place by buyers, and that the bulk of fruit will now realize the excessive freight charged on it,. The transportcompauies, there- fore, are likely to become co-partners with the receivers and shippers in some of the losses. as the guarantee of charges given by most shippers amount to nothing when subject to collection, and consignees in England are not. compelled to pay freight, and need not do so if oot disposed.

The answer given to that these prosperous farmers are in the main t nose who have had the intelligence and en- terprise to depart from the old lines and adopt the new features and methods wbioh the altered circumstances now require. The recommendations of the commission may perhepe be summarized by no as fol- lows: First, that certain lines of oompeti- tinn be avoided, wherein no profit oan be ob- tau„ d; ur other words, ,bat less attention Glasgow' be paid th the mere growing of grata and rai,'lnv of cattle.

Chancellor Boyd gave judgment re- cently in favor of Mrs. Jennie Smith, of Port Arthur, ter *491.25, with costs, agaieet the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. The sum is for insurance of Mrs Smith's store, which was burn- ed in May Net. The company did not pay thie money because it was garn- isheed in their bandit by certain credit- ors of Mrs Smith. This judgment, therefore is important as deciding that insurance money cannIt be garnish- eed. e oultivete d, but that these be better worked, so that maximum yields be obtain- ed, thereby rednoing the cost of production. Third, that rnore attention be paid to arti• finial manures and the eoientiflo aspects of agriculture. Fourth, that land which is not suited for agrioaltural purposes be planted out in profitable forest trees, such as the black walnut, shell bark hickory, chestnut, etc. Fifth, that one or more spe- cialties be adopted, since these are more profitable than the old lines. Sixth, that fruit growing, in one or more of its many forme, be widely adopted as one euoh ape - Malty, Seventh, that high-class dairying and oheese-making be also adopted where practicable.

Tupper is leader. The difficulty is that if lupper was thrown overboard—and he cannot be got rid of in any other way— Mr. Foster, who, would insist on gutting the position, would not be any better than Tupper. One month remains to the electorate of the United States for deliberation regarding the choice of a President. The turmoil of aPresidential campaign always causes a depression in business but in the present election commercial and trade interest are being partially paralysed by the support that the free silver heresy is receiving. The month is therefore likely to prove an uncom- fortable one for many business con- cerns, and the outcome will be await- ed with feat and anxiety.
