AMERICAN APPLES POPULAR

increases.

From q weIl-known dealer in
apples who ships many thousands
of barrels TO Europe every year,
the information was obtained that
there was uot so good prospect
or u large shipment OF apples 10
England this year AZ last because
OF the very natural drawback of il
large crop Of apples harvested in
England.
This may be in a measure Offset
by the steadily increasing demand
for American apples which swill
call for shipments on this side to
meet the demand which no num-
Der Of home grown apples will sup
ply.
1t may not be generally known
that in 1903, which was the record
year for the importation Of apples
from the United States and Can
ada to the di.ierent markets with
in the United Kingdom OF Great
Britain, the total Importation
:.eachcd the enormous number Of
s.063. 900 barrels. The value of all
hose barrels of American apples
splaced at no less than 81, 1G0, $50.
This Is quite jump from the
Fl, 728.5o5 worth Of American APP
pies which were imported i.y Eng
lish buyers in 1899. This $7.OUn..
100 apple crop which went to resi-
dents of Great Britain was from
the United States in 1903, and
Canada sent to the eaters of the
American apple over $4,000, O00
worth of Canadian apples. All
American fruits, whether grown
in Great Britain or not. command
good prices on the0ther side of the
Atlantic, and, whereas, the Eng
.ish formerly obtained most of
their pears from France, the
United States now leads France in
he pear trade with Great Britain
i've years ago France sent pearf
10 the value of $749.3G5; last yea,
the value had fallen 10 1851. 43O
The value of the importations
from the United States rose from
1924 .sS5 in 1899, 10 $5Si,71O in
1908.
Word comes from one Of TIE
United States consuls in Enelan,
that the apple dealers and consnm
ers in England deplore the deead
enee of the good old hudson River
Pippins. and although a consider
able quantity was received there.

With the Ponea tribe the election

voters of the tribe to east THEN
