The demand for California fruit hinges
more directly on the eastern apple crop
than on any other one factor in the prob
lem. The following from the Canadian
Grocer is to the point.
Judging from present indications, 1896
will witness a large apple crop on the
North American continent.
'In Ontario the crop promises to be an
abundant one. Those who have been
through the apple growing districts on
prospecting tours declare there is no ques-
tion about 1t.
'In New York state and in the New
England states similar conditions appear
to prevail. Northern Michigan has a
fairly good crop but in the western states
the yield is likely to be light.
Exporters views regarding prices, in
q consequence of the anticipated big crop,
are low. They assert that the ruling figure
in Ontario will be somewhere around $l25
fob cars. This, allowing 25 cents for the
barrel, l5c for packing, and 10 cents for
incidental expenses, means 70 cents per
barrel In the orchard.
. THESE. of course are the exporters
views but with the prospect of big ap-
pie crop this side of the Atlantic, the
outlook certainly does not favor big
prices"

that they grant no bounties ut all. To this

States, as the bounty on sugar has since
been rescinded. The twent.eth-Japan-

tobacco industries, as well as to sugar, salt,
spirits and beer. In the same country "a

A distinction ought to be made between
bounties pure and simpla and a draw
back on goods taxed inthe country where
