Since our last report striking event in the

taken place, that is, the replenlshing of stocks
IN England with new canned apricots shipped

ance. The current development of the industry
prices OF the last few years particularly on
canned aprlcots, resulted In curtailing the con-
sumption, and these goods were put on the
market IN England at over shilllngs per dozen
less than the price on spot stocks, resulting in
many stores again taking up the sale of Calffor-
MIA canned appricots, which will mean great
good to the future industry. The wholesale

could be sold at so much less than their own

As stated in our last report the higher grade
goods will be somewhat short, also the low
grace goods being put the market at low
prices are going to be short and are now ad-
