REAPING THE BENEFIT
California Fruit Farms Supplying Eng
land and the Continent.

A London dispatch says: America Is now
reaplng a great benefit from the storms
which made the summer one Of the worst
on record in Great Britain and the CONT
nent. Thanks to the ruined home crops.
California fruit is being imported in larger
quantities than ever before. The sales in
London last week marked a record, with
2I.ot1 boxes of American fruit. representing
about G7o. 600 pounds weight.
The fruit was sold at a two days auc-
ton In Covent Garden market the prices
averaging 30 per cent above what has here
tofore been obtained here. The sales were
chiefly of California pears and plums with
fair consignment of New York state
Bartlett pears. There is practically no
English fruit obtainable, while France.
which usually exports large quantities OF
pears to England. is sending none.
The American section of Covent Garden
market is now almost the sole source OF
supply, and there are no signs of the de-
nand decreasing. American apples, which
hitherto could not be probably shipped
hither TIL later in the year. now have a
brisk trade Forty-two thousand barrels
OF Canadian apples are expected in Lon
don at the end OF this week. and record
prices are assured.
\ member of the most prominent Eng
iish firm dealing In foreign fruit said:
Europes i'll wind has certainly brought
good to America. We are spending five
and six hours day in the auction box dis
posing of double much California fruit
as We ever did before at prices ranging
from % to 30 per cent higher. We have no
dinculty In securing all we want from
America, but we can scarcely order quickly
enough.
heretofore California fruit has been
more an adjunct To Englands supply than
a serious factor In the market. Now owing
To the failure of French fruit and the com
p!ete loss of the home crop. the American
branch OF the market is watched more
eagerly than any other"
How disastrous the present season has
been to English growers may be judged
from a letter In which fruit farmer In
one of the best counties of England says
that on eleven acres. all devoted TO green
cages the fruit on only three ripened.
Ihere Is no wonder that shipments of
American fruit are well received
