Season has been very unsatisfactory ; the demand for apples weak and out of proportion to supplies since November, with prices declining consistently over the last three months. Pears have been somewhat better. Trade nonplussed to account for consistent weakness in apple market, but combination of circumstances, including Coronation, induce them to be more optimistic regarding new season.
