EXPORT APPLE MARKET (Australian Press Asen.—United Service ) LONDON, August 10. Next week will sec the finish of the Australian and New Zealand apple season, with the marketing of the Liverpool portion of the Huntingdon’s cargo. The market is still good for Dominion apples, as supplies from other sources are restricted, only moderate quantities having yet arrived from America and the Continent. The fact that such good prices are being realised so late in the year is. of course, largely attributable to suonlies from Australia and New Zen land thin season only totalling 1.443.0 CT bares, compared with 3,950.000 last year, and 1,716,000 in 1927. The only important change in the maize market is the development of more trade direct from Bay of Plenty stations to the Waikato and King Country. ns the new grain is now in rood enough condition for handling. The price ex store remains at 6s 9d.—Auckland Herald. ■Tv. r,
