HIGH PRICES FOR GOOD FRUIT
FUTURE PROSPECTS BRIGHT
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association)
LONDON, 7th -May. The apple trade continues good, the finest Australian and New Zealand fruit realising high prices, but unfortunately a considerable proportion of the fruit is not altogether satisfactory. Many Tasmanian lines are only of moderate quality, being somewhat overripe; while bitterpit is much in evidence in West Australian as well as Tasmanian, especially in Ribslons and Coxs. 'There is a good demand for best apples from the Continent and exceptional prices have been made at Hamburg sales. Importers consider the prospects satisfactory for trade in good apples till mid-July, as cold, dry weather here and on the Continent has been retarding soft fruits, which usually come in competition with apples.
