APPLES FOR EXPORT.

Valuable Information Supplied by tho De.
-, psFtment of Agriculture.
The report of Secretary Morton, of
the agricultural bureau, gives some
valuable information to growers who
intend shipping apples to Europe, and
especially to English markets. The sea-
son begins in August, when the domes-
tic crops come into the market, and ap-
pies bring comparatively low prices.
An occasional large crop in Spain or
Portugal may result in shipments to
England in August and September, but
usually the supplies are confined to tho
home product. The bulk of English
apples, an average year, bring about
81 to $1.75 per 112 pounds, but superior
kinds fetch much higher prices. Or
dinarily, they are seen in the market
up to the end of January. This year
the crop was deficient, and was prac-
tically used up early in October, and the
market left clear for American and
Canadian fruit, which is practically all
that is available. Our early shipments
did not fairly represent US, and brought
low prices. Our European agent has
heard complaint of a decrease in the
size of the barrel, which usually netted
rather less than 100 pounds each; this
should not be, it is mistake which
must be avoided. Canadian barrels
weigh from 100 to 40 pounds. When
our shippers see Canadian Baldwins
quoted at from So to $3.50 per barrel,
this difference in weight will account
for it, and is. no evidence of superior
quality ON the part of Canadian fruit.
The bulk of the shipment consists of
Baldwins, Northern Spy and Greenings;
our Baldwins are finer than Cana
dian. but are not such "good keepers"
They range from $3.50 to $3.50 for
Canadian barrels, and So to $s.75 for
American barrels, but it is thought that
these prices can hardly be maintained
on account of the large Canadian and
American crops. Greetings must be
large, as they are used for "dumplings;"
small samples would easily fall off a
dollar barrel, and make the shipment
unremunerative. Northern Spys bring
about the same price as Baldwins.
Freights to London, Liverpool, Glas-
gov or Bristol (all of them good apple
markcts) are approximately 81 bar
rel, and all charges, including salesman,
commission, would be covered by Is
cents. Apples are sold at auction, cash
on delivery; if the auctioneer gives
credit, it is at his own risk. The adj
dresses of responsible consignees in the
principal shipping ports in England
can be obtained through the agricul-
tural department, at Washington.
Any apples Of good color and size
will sell in England, but it costs no
more to send the best than the medium
quality, and the return is better. eff
you discard shilling's worth in pack
ing, you may better your price two
shillings," is the saying of London
broker. Fruit should be packed so that
it cannot rattle; if it does, it will reduce
value considerably, even though it
might be uninjured.

MAKING CELLARS FROST PROOF.

below the safety point during cold
snap is a factor to be guarded against.
A cellar can be made frost-proof by lay
ing a single wall of brick inside the
UNDERMINING, leaving an air space be-
tween the bricks and the outer wall, but
this is somewhat expensive. An easier
and cheaper wayi is to put up some short
studs just inside the underpinning, and
to nail upon these thin matched boards,
down to point little below the
ground on the outside of the cellar
wall, leaving an air space as shown in
the illustration. Fruit will then be out
of danger from low temperature out
side.-American Gardening.

MEXICAN TELEGRAPH LINES
Have Passed Under the Control OF
the Postal Company.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Under separ-
ate agreements entered into with two
great railway systems of the Republic
of Mexico, respectively, the Mexican Ma
tional Railway Company and Mexican
Central Railway Company, the tele-
graph lines of those companies have
passed under the control of the Postal
Telegraph COMPANY.
Heretofore telegraphing TO the Mexi-
can Capital has either been by cable via
Galveston and Vera Cruz, or by the
American lines to the Mexican border,
and thence by the railway companies
lines from Laredo or Ell Paso to Mexico.
The contracts entered into gives the
Postal Company a. continuous system
from the United States to all the prin-
cipal cities in the neighbOring republic.
To make this possible the Postal Com
pany extended it's lines south from Den
yer through Albuquerque to Ell Paso, to
connect with the Mexican Central SyS-
tenn, and is now building from Little
Rock to Laredo to connect with the
Mexican National system, which exten-
sion will be completed on January i.
1898. AS a consequence of the exten-
sion, the tolls from American cities have
been reduced 40 per cent, making the
message rate from New York to the
City of Mexico 81 S5 for ten words, and
the cable rate from the City of Mexico
to London has been reduced from go
cents a word to 80 cents a word.
