apples. Really fancy fruit sells read

in the demand until after the new year

holdings in the country are only about
| 10000 barrels less than they were a
year ago. Prices were too high at the
opening of the season and could not be
maintained: great deal of fruit is still
| to be marketed, and it is hard to see how
prices can advance much.
