What the Liverpool and London Pa
pers Say of Our Fruit.
Following are the extracts from lead
ing English journals referred to by Mr..
Appel. 1t will be seen that the English
press is deeply impressed with the i'm
portance ofthis new enterprise, and that
California fruits are being well adver-
tised in that country:

LARGE ARRIVALS OF FRUIT FROM CALI
FoRNIA-PREsENT TO THE QUEEN.
A short time ago we described in the
Courier new trade which was being I'M
tiated between the United States and this
country, namely, the Importation to
Liverpool of fruit grown on the Ameri-
can Continent. From the initial steps
taken it was believed that this trade
might be developed and become a very
important one. The results have proved
that this anticipation was correct, and. in
time, the fruit trade between American
ports and the Mersey will, no doubt, as
sumo very large proportions. An in
stance OF the progress made in this trade,
and the Improvement affected in the con-
veyance of fruit on board steamers, was
given at Liverpool yesterday. Between
1000 and 5000 cases of fruit were brought
by the overland route by railway from
California to New York, shipped on
board the White Star steamer Majestic.
and consigned to Liverpool.
Yesterday The Majestic went into the
Langton Dock and promptly discharged
her cargo Of California fruit. 1t consisted
of 600 cases OF pears, peaches, apricots,
pineapples and tomatoes. The cases were
all in excellent order, and the fruit.
which was of the finest character, was in
splendid condition. The White Star

refrigerators fitted for the carrying of
fruit. These seem to thoroughly realize
the object for which they are constructed.
and the fruit which arrived on the Ma
jestic was in as good condition as when it
was packed in the cases.
Before this mode of bringing fruit from
America was established it used to be
sent over in preserved condition in
cans. Now, however, the principal fruit
growers in California find opportunities
of sending the fresh fruit in great quanti-
ties to the English market
