1t has been a decidedly unsatisfac-
tory week in the apple business. Re
ceipts have been very heavy and the
demand decidedly slow. The foreign
markets have worked lower and cold
storage space IL well filed. The result

remained in the open market and sales
al the outside quotations Lave been IL
frequent
