decidedly firmer feeling in the apple
market Thursday when extra fancy

Improvement in weather these moved
readily. Early in the week heavy
rains kept buyers from Pier II and
this combined with receipts of 81
cars Monday and 30 Tuesday tended
to keep the market easy, favoring
buyers. There was quite a lot of stock
carried over from last week. A few
Bens were offered for s1.75 n $50.
Spies showed a wide range, best stock
selling 81 a 5, and ordinary goods,
81 n $50. Winesaps ranged S2d4.

apples, as the supply is growing less
all the time. Fancy goods bring
Sl.5Od2. They consist mostly of
Winesaps, Arkansas Blacks and New
town Pippins. Had 1t not been for
the cold weather a great deal of the
boxed apple fruit would have been
dumped. The cool weather has help
ed out wonderfully and the finish
will be better than was expected
short time ago.
