FRUIT FOR LONDON.
George II. Appel, resident manager of
of the California Fruit Transportation
Company, said yesterday when asked as
to the probability of sending fruit from
here TO London this season:
1--WE anticipate opening up again our
export service to London, and expect to
start the first car containing cherries
about the first part of June. to be con-
tinued byregular shipments of other fruits
as may be wanted. We shall have a
bright, experienced American fruit man
stationed in London, who will be able to
advise shippers just what is needed and
when it is wanted, SO as to realize the best
possible results from shipments made
over there.
''In this connection. we also expect to
have reduced rate from that of last sea-
son. We have demonstrated the physical
part IN placing this fruit there in perfect
order, and we believe that with proper
encouragement we shall yet be able to
place 800 or more cars OF deciduOuS fruit
in the English markets during the Cali
fornla fruit shipping season, making an
outlet which will prove advantageous to
California growers. This should have
the effect OF toning up the domestic mar
kets and making better prices all around.
This is matter of deep interest to
fruit-grOwers, especially during this sea-
son, when the outlook for a large crop of
fruit is at this time very excellent, and
the situation is such as to appear now
that the season OF 1895 will be very much
better than that OF the past. In this con-
nectlOn L wish 10 say that, while we an
ticipated making material reduction
last December, having taken it up with
some OF the large shippers, we thought
best not to issue the new tariff until now.
There will be no difference in our method
of handling fruit. as we expect to give the
same excellent service as in the past,
having added to our equipment until, at
this time, we have thousand of our
well-known cars in active service.
''As you know, the value of California
fruit is at the other end-that is, it should
arrive in such condition as to be able to
realize the top market prices at all times.
This kind of service we have always
given and expect to continue"
AS to the California Fruit Transporta-
ton Company's rates per carload tor re-
frigeiator service, they have been fixed
as follows, slight increase being re-
quired when shipped from more distant
stations:
