ENGLISH APPLE MARKET.
TRANSPORT DIFFICULTIES. GREATLY AFFECT PRICES. (Australian and N.Z. Press Assn.) Received June 7, 9.30 a.m. LONDON, June 6. The trade in apples is adversely affected by railway transport difficult es ; due to the coal shortage. Provincial buyers cannot depend on receiving supplies by rail; consequently they are reducing their purchases and prices have given way somewhat chiefly for common varieties and overripe fruit. In view of the enormous quantity of apples already here and afloat, further reduction in values may be expected, especially as the supplies of soft fruits are now steadily increasing. So far these have been much smaller than anticipated, owing to cold, wet weather here and on the Continent, hut a glut of them is expected shortly.
