LEEDS GOOD MARKET
FOR AMERICAN APPLES
Exporters Could Be Aided by
Securing Commission Agents

American exporters of apples might
find it to their advantage to procure
commission agents in Leeds to repre-
sent them, writes Consul Benjamin f.
Chase of Leeds.
The apples sold in this market are
mostly procured from Liverpool. The
custom is to sell them there by auction,
and the dealers either make the jour
ney or have brokers make their pur-
chases. This involves auctioneers'
commissions, freight charges from
Liverpool to Leeds, and the travelling
expenses of the purchasers; in the end
it all must come off the exporter in
the way of less returns for his prod
ucts. The exporter, though. has the
advantage of having sold his apples
and received his money promptly, while
with agents he would have to wait for
his money and must take the chances
of loss by decay and a changing mar
ket. He should be able to get through
freight rates into Leeds much lower
than the amount of total rate when
the journey is broken at Liverpool and
a reshipment made. and should be able
to make terms with the transportation
companies which will warrant his
sending through.
The apple season for eastern United
States, Canada and Nova Scotia begins
in November and extends to February.
During this season the apples are
shipped in barrels, and from 1000 to
3,00e bushels find their way into the
Leeds market.
The shipment from Oregon and other
parts of western United States extends
from February to May and amounts
during the season to from 1900 to
1900 bushels, mostly put up in boxes
of 40 pounds weight.
From May to July apples are re-
ceived from Tasmania and Australia
in about the same quantity and condi-
tion of packing as our western fruit.
The apples most acceptable are the
Baldwin, Greening, King ana Northern
Spy.
