SENDING Apples ABROAD.
NEW-YORK'S EXPORT TRADE FALLING OFF
HOW THE GROWERS IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE
STATE HURT THEMSELVES.

NETWORKS EXPORT TRADE FALLING OFF.
now THE GROWERS IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE
STATE HURT THEMSELVES.
The ample crop If SS4 throughout the United States
and Canada promises be of the largest gathered
for many years. In the eleven Western counties of
New-YOrk, Wayne, Monroe Orleans, Erie, Niagara,
Ontario. Gcncsec Livingston, Cattaraugus, CHATEAU
qua and Wyoming which make up one immense apple
orchard it Ia estimated that the yield will be
1000 900 barrels The apples from that region are
generally considered the finest in the world both be-
cause of their flavor and because they preserve their
souDdness longer than others when stored in ware
houses or while being transported. And yet their
market value is below that of othars and there is less
demand for them The cause lies ia the fact that the
growers insist upon packing their apples in " pony
barrels holding from six to eight quarts less than the
-four barrel, which is the standard used by growers
everywhere else.
The apples are carted by the growers to receiving
points on the lines of railroad canal and there sold
TO the commission merchants or Dealers who pay
cash for them on the head of the barren az it il
called and take the risk of transportation warehouse
ing They in turn sell to the retailers, export them
The retailers always demand full barrels and will pay
from 80 cents in NewYOrk to 81 in foreign countries
more for apples from Western States those from
New-E land and Canada than for Western New York
apples.
A New-York dealer who IL said TO have the largest
apple trad, in the world said to TRIBUNE reporter
yesterday in the presence fsevera other large dealers
"The Western New-York growers injure themselves
by insisting upon the pony barrels. These contain
only about 16 cents worth Of apples less than the
standard size yet they only be sold for from 80
cents TO 81 per barrel less than those packed In the
standard barIel The apples are really worth more
than those from the West and other sections and the
barrels carriage, domestic freight, storage and
freights are about the If the Western apples
were selling for from 81 to SO %, could well afford
to pay go 90 for these NewYo apples provided they
were in the standard barrel and honestly packed But
as H. the retailers refuse TO take them from u.s. and
we have lost largely by being compeed.to keep them
stored for long time and then TO sell them at less
than cost The growers in their own interest should
use the standard barrel. They could buy the larger
barrels cheap if not cheaper. Pony barrels can
not be used for anything except apples, and the coop
ere are compelled to wait until they know what the
crop prospect TO be before they begin TO make them
as they have order special sze of timber, and then
there danger that the hands who have been idle for
time seeing the necessity for the progress Of the
work, will strike for higher wages which If granted
