APPLE MARKET.
HIGHER PRICES LIKELY. Received Jan. 9, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 8. The removal of the control over apples appears unlikely to have much effect in raising the prices of the Australian varieties, except possibly the finest West Australian. At present the market is flooded with Nova Scotian and American varieties of which fully ninety-nine per cent, are selling under control prices. Oregon Newtons are fetching 20/-, Californian Jonathans 16/- and 18/-. Covent Garden dealers say it is probable supplies will continue plentiful till April at least. Heavy shipments of oranges are arriving, if Australia ships a million and a quarter cases it mimt not be expected they will realise anything like the control prices for any but the choicest sorts. The question of making advances to growers is considerably exercising importers. Some firms say in the present outlook they are indisposed to advance above eight shillings.
