German Apple Crop

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Germany is
about to have an apple crop smaller in
quantity and poorer Ill quality than has
been gathered i'll recent years, according to
United States Consul-General Frank Mason
at Frankfort Cider apples this year com
mand three times the usual price, he says.
and no cider will he made outside of Wu-
temberg Even cooking apples of an infer
ior grade are selling in Frankfort at to
8 cents per pound. This deficiency is SAID
to extend more or less generally to France,
Bohemia and Northern Italy. so the condi-
tions favor large importation of American
apples. though whether this will be pract-
icabN ID not will depend upon, first, the sup
ply in the United States, and second, the
spirit in which the German officials enforce
the inspection laws Mr.. Mason believes in
view Of the uncertainty Of the trade that
the future development will be in the direc-
ton of dried and preserved fruits.

being paid by somebody who had bet on
Sharkey, and did not propose to de-
eide public money on palpable fake.
