POOR RESULTS
EXPORT APPLE MARKET FRUrT IN POOR CONDITION <Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received April 16, 11 a.m.) LONDON, April 16. The apple season lias not opened well. The first arrivals of Australian and New Zealand came, on a market that is still abundantly supplied with American fruit, and although buyers naturally prefer newer fruit from the southern Dominions they were unable to exercise this preference to the full because a considerable proportion of the first arrivals were not as satisfactory as usual in early shipments. Much fruit was immature, and bitter-pit was very noticeable in Coxs and Eibstones from Tasmania, Victoria, West Australia, and Now Zealand, while some varieties appeared to be over-ripe. Consequently, the prices realised so far are unsatisfactory, and importers are becoming anxious about what might happen when really heavy quantities arrive a few weeks hence. Pears generally have done well, except for Victorian Williams, which arrived very wasty.
