Annapolis, n. s. Oct 17.-That the

which is estimated at more than 100, 00C

for any other section, and the quality
Of the apples is of the best These con-
Gitions place the orchardists Of Nova

OF tie poor crop in America, which is
not only below the average in size but
of poor quality generally.
The orchard districts have been
visited during the past month by num-
bers of American and European buy
ers. and while the European markets
will get more than their usual ship
ment, the size will not be as large as
might be expected with the big in
crease, as the Americans have secured
options on more than twice the amount
generally imported into the United

Prices range from $3.50 to 50 barrel,
