ABOUT THE APPLE MARKET.
Demand only Temporarily supplied BY
Fall Ffuit.

1
| The apple crop ia the United States
and Canada is unusually large, and
prices are corespondingly low.
In fact they are too low. They are
bound to go up.
This is practically proven by the
rapid manner in which Spectators
are taking up all the apples in sight.
Apple spectators do not buy on a
falling market.
Prof. Waugh of the Vermont
experiment station, in speaking Of
this matter, points out that there are
certain features Of the situation the
apple growers have generally failed to
appreciate. He sums them up as
follows:
l. The crop has been ractically,
il not absolutely over estimated.
The statements that the present crop
greatly exceeds that of 1896 have been
very industriously circulated by the
apple buyers and solely in the endeav-
or to keep prices down.
2. The market has been under
estimated. Ii has been assumed that
the market is no better than in 1896,
while the fact is that il can handle a
much larger quantity Of fruit. Then
the market was not organized. Buyers
were not in touch with sellers. Espe-
cially the whole European outlet had |
not been developed. Now all that is |
changed for the better Then growers
shipped thousands Of barrels Of wind
falls and worthless fruit which this
year they will have sense enough TO
keep at home.
3. The market has been Temporal
rily unsettled by the great quantity OF
fall fruit sent in and by the remark
able crop Of windfalls harvested by
the September gales. Buyers have
taken advantage Of this
decentralization to contract
for winter apples, though late-keeping
are not affected by il.
4. The probable price of winter
fruit has been generally underesti-
mated. The price has ranged thus
far from 81 TO $3.50 a barrel, although
a few lots have been contracted at 81

IN 1896, when all possible adverse
conspired TO keep down
prices, good winter apples sold late in ..
