Caught on the Apple Crop.

The corner in apples which has held
the price up all winter has been brok.
en- and good apples can be had at 81
so and $500 per barrel, ard it is
very likely that they will be selling
even cheaper. The demand for sp-
pies is very light and the large deal
ers who cornsred the crop last fall
when it was learned that there would
be a very light crop, are losing heavi-
ly.
Though the price has dropped to a
reasonable point, the demand con-
tinues light. A prominent dealer
SAYS that there was go much talk last
fall about the light crop and high
prices that a good many people decid.
ed they would do without apples
rather than pay the high prices, and
now that the price has fallen they
have gotten used to doing without
them and the sales ara accordingly
small. Reports from the large east
ern cities are that the supply is much
greater than the demand and that the
price Is dropping and thousands Of
bushels Of apples are standing on rail-
road sidings without sale for them.
Last fall the large dealers went in
to the orchards and paid $500 per
barrel for apples and stored them
away for the time when the price
would go up. The price failed to 60
to the point expected. however, and
the dealers have lost immense sums.
One firm in New York which failed
last week, bought 10000 barrels.
Many of the apples were sold at a
price lower than that paid for them,
while 10000 barrels still remain in
the firms store houses.
