consequently within the reach OF every
body's purse The enormous apple crop
says a Philadelphia daily principally in
New York State, is being thrown upon the
market just now in such volumes that
prices are comparatively lower than they
will be few weeks hence, Wren the bulk
of the crop will be out of the shipper
hands and under control of the dealers. a.
B. Detwiler, a Front street dealer, says the
crop this year Las NOT only been one OF the
largest but the finest ever grown. The
staple price of the fruit at present ranges
from 81 so 80 81 so a barrel, but some in
ferior grades have been sold lower. Winter
apples are somewhat lower than the fall
varieties, as they are not Immediately
wantsa About three years ago, when
there was generally heavy crop, apples
sold at even little lower than now. Las
year, about the only section of the country
producing apples for market was the West
and the Eastern markets depended solsiy
upon that section for its supply. This veal
the order is reversed, New York State ship
ping heavily to Chicago, 81. LOUIS, Cincin
natl and other Western points. The croI
III Kansas and Missouri, it is sand, was
fair one this season, but all not wanted
near home was shipped still further West
