NAMES APPLE TRADE.
some Interesting Statements from
a Shipper.

Now that the season of 189O-9i has almost
closed-all the ocean steamships for Liver
pool from this port but one having sailed-a
few statistics in regard to the export apple
trade may prove interesting to Maine pro-
ducers and dealers. Mr.. Hastings Webbing
of st. John street, Montreal, the Portland
agent for the shipping firms of Simons, ia
cobs & Co., Glasgow, Garcia, Jacobs & Co.,
London. and Simon, Shuttleworth & Co..
Liverpool, was seen by PRESS reporter,
and kindly consented to fur
nish any information that might be in his
power. These British firms are heavy ship
pers of apples from many American and
Canadian ports. From their thorough
knowledge Of the apple market and the high
position occupied by them, they are eminent
authority in trade that interests every
Maine farmer.
Mr.. Webbing started out with the informa-
ton that among the trade every third year is
considered particularly good bearing and
shipping year. The last two seasons have
been rather short, so that next season is ex-
pected to be largely productive. These were
the figures for the past three years:

Funeral of Harrison J. LIbbv

The funeral Of Harrison j. Libby was
held yesterday afternoon at his late resi-
dence corner of Congress and High streets
The officiating clergyman was Rev. E. B.
Webb of Wellesley, Mass, assisted by Rev.
Mr.. Bayley of this city. The pail bearers
were six directors of the First National
bank, Mr. Hart representing the Portland
Railroad Company and j.. B. Coyle, repre-
senting the International Steamship Com
pany' There was very large attendance of
Cemetery.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1891-04-25

OF the exports for the year 1889-90 there
were 76,S19 barrels of Maine apples and AS
900 barrels of Canadian apples. For the
whole country the total shipment reached
the grand amount Of 6S0,SS4 barrels. The
shipment from Maine of Maine and Cana.
dian apples for 1S9O-91 was about 81 900 bar
rels. of which $4,000 barrels were Canadian.
and $1,000 Maine. 1t is thought that one rea-
son for-the smaller shipment the past year is
on account Of the Mckinley bill, the effect
of its passage having been to command bet
ter prices at home where there has been a
better home market than Liverpool afforded.
The last six weeks of the season the ship
ments of Maine apples fell off owing to the
larger amount Of Nova Scotian apples
shipped abroad and the low figures COM
manded in the English markets. During the
twenty-six weeks of the season each steamer
of the Allan and Dominion lines took more
or less apples, varying in amount from 500
to nearly 10000 barrels in each ship, or week
ly from Portland. The Canadian apples
the Alexanders-get rather better prices in
the English market because they stand ship
ment better, retaining their hardness and
appearance longer time, but the Maine
Baldwins are also favorites. The Alexan-
ders command about 60 shillings and the
Baldwins about 81 shillings. The apples for
the foreign market are collected by men
representing fruit firms in Portland, who
visit the farmers and give price for the
crop. These apples are delivered to Mr..
Webbing who ships them to his firms abroad
There they are auctioned, and the proceeds
handed over at once. The firm deducts its
commissions, and sends drafts for the ship
ment back to America, so that quick returns
are reached. 1t seems probable that If this
apple business increases, as there Is every
prospect many farms that are now looked
upon as unproductive will be planted to ap-
pie orchards. One farmer in Maine who
was refused 5000 for his farm, took to rails
ing apples alone. and this season cleared
more than that on his orchard.
Mr. Webbing is most excellent represen-
tative of the apple trade, for he is quick
to appreciate all its varied phases and to
state his opinions clearly and agreeably.

MAN,
Thus spoke Mayor Winston yesterday
when asked the usual question as to
whether he had decided the fate of
these two gentlemen which has been
hanging in the balance for over month
past. Questioned as to his reason, the
mayor went on to say:
Il will simply say that after carefully
investigating these charges against King
and Doyle. [ have found nothing in any
way rejecting upon their integrity. |
have found, however, that King has
been indiscreet, and to such an extent
as to convince me that 1t will be to the
best interests OF the department to re-
move him."
1t is generally understood that Kings
little break at John Goodnow on a street
car last Wednesday was the straw that
broke the cameFs back. and some of the
wlseacres even go so far as to say that
If he had restrained himself on that oc-
caSlOn he would have come out all
right. King is known to have a great
many personal enemies who have
brought every possible influence to bear
to secure his removal from the force.
and it IS believed that the mayor has at
last realized that this course IS absO-
lutely necessary 70 harmony in the
party.
