THE CANADIAN CHEESE TRADE.


The statistical position of cheese has I'M
dergone very marked change during the
past four or five weeks, the exports from
canada having shown a rapid increase during
that time as compared with the correspond
ing perlCd last year, reducing the deficit in
me shipments from Canada from 274 094 boxes
on sept. to 149, 1885 on Oct. s. On Sept. 9
the comD1ned shipments from Canada and
the United States for the present season fell
Denlnd those OF the same period In 1897 by
9V5,l6I boxes, whereas the deficit has now
been reduced to 379 282 boxes The shin
ments OF the past two weeks from this mort
have splurged ahead of the same period last
year by about 100000 boxes, ard if they keen
on at TINS rate the seasons decrease will
soon De turned into an increase; but we he
lleVe there VIII soon be a check to this large
movement The fall make has undoubtedly
oeen large, both in the province of Quebec
anu ontario, the pastures having been ex-
ceptl9naiIy favorable for milk production: but
despite all this, the general impression is
Lnat IL VIII not be as large as that Of 1897
quite a number of cheese factories bavin9
recently changed their machinery and gone
INTO butter making. Regarding prices the
market has declined fully Ac since last
week, sales being made of about 1000 boxes
at time of writing Wednesday, at 91kc for
nnest Western colored, and at &c for finest
western while. A lot of 500 finest Eastern
Septembers was placed at 8Bc, while finest
dergrades have been picked up at Sc to sac.
Ihese figures will give a fair idea of values.

The United States consul at Chemnitz Ger
many, advises Americans to ship their apples
thls year to Germany. If good fruit is chosen
Such as will stand long voyage-the Bald
WIN apple, for instance-he is confident that
the business will prove to be a paving one
complaint has been made in Germany against
american fruit because Of the fear Of the in
PRODUCTION Of the San Jose scale which is one
OF the most destructive diseases known IN
frult Investigation has shown that the fear
not Denied that the San Jose scale is found
IN some parts Of the United States, but dis
eased lruit IS not shipped abroad Such a
course would soon result in DESTROYING the
export business. German experts are now in
the United States studying our fruit So far
DIS known they nave not advised exclusion.
Inc haroy winter apples usually command
a good price at home. These APPLES are
shipped to England as well as to the CONT
hent, and the business has been proved to be-
worth the effort made to establish it. In New
york state, in Pennsylvania, parts of Mary
lano, the northern part Of Virginia and in
some OF the Western states are grown some
Of the best apples in the world. They stand
transportation WELL and the demand for them
Is increasing. The reputation of such fruit ais
the Baldwin, the winesap and the Albemarle
pippin, Of Virginia-the latter of which is
confined to a comparatively small area owing
10 peculiar conditions of the Soils we'll es-
tablfshed. Americans have much to learn
ABOUT packing fruit but they are gaining a
strong hold in the foreign markets For the
nVe years preceding 1895 the annual average
OF shipments Of fruit from this country to
germany amounted to over four million dol
