a shortage in apples when the cold
storage supply of that fruit is most
needed. \ fairly good stock was laid
away last fall. it being an average
year. hut the Middle West has been
consuming large quantities of apples
this year. and has drawn heavily on
the Atlantic seaboard country because
its own supply was unequal TO the de-

pies here was attractively low. More
also have been exported than usual.
The result is shat dealers with good
sized stocks are looking forward to
what they call a strong market, and the
price of apples is likely to soar.
