4 NEW FRUIT MARKET-But few people
are aware that during the past two years a
new market has opened up in Australia
for California fruit, especially the dried
article canned goods and apples. During
the past season the steamships PLYING be-
tween Sydney and San Francisco have trans
ported monthly, on an average, 10000 boxes
of apples, 1000 of which were packed and
shipped from this city. The apples are
each wrapped carefully in white paper,
and packed in the usuai-sized boxes, the
corners of which are secured by straps of
tin The Australians, unlike our own
people, do lot like large apples, but, on
the contrary, want medium sized or what
Is termed among fruit men as five tier
apples The Pacific Fruit Company is get
ting shipment ready for Sydney at pres
ent. The apples they are packing were
grown near Oroyille. and consist of the fol-
lowing varieties: White saps, Jonathans,
SpitZenbergs, Newton Pippins and white
winter Pearmains. Great care has to be
exercised in the packing of the fruit, from
the fact that it takes twenty-fOur DAYS to
make the voyage, and, as the fruit is slowed
away il the hold of the steamer il suffers
somewhat from the heat The apples sell
readily in Australia from s. to 81 % per
box, and at that price there is a good mar
gin Of profit to the producer, commission
merchant and dealer. There are but few
ports Of entry in Australia where they will
allow apples from foreign countries to
land. This is in consequence of local
legislation and is intended 10 prevent the
Introduction into the country Of the Goblin
moth and other fruit pests.
