RECORD PRICES FOR APPLES EAGER ENGLISH DEMAND By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 8.5 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. Prices of Australian and New Zealand apples were maintained at a high level in all markets, especially at Hull where the Continental demand raised values to exceptional figures. Liverpool and London buyers have also been paying what can only be regarded as wonderful prices for this time of the year, prices exceeding all records except, of course, those of the control period, when the Government fixed the minimum price at 19s a case. During the next fortnight, about 150,000 cases of Australian apples are due to arrive at English ports. The demand is still so good that the present prices probably will be maintained.—A. and N.Z.
