The apple situation this week has
been somewhat disappointing. Instead
..f it cout iuttation of the improvement
which w noted in our last report, the
market has dropped back to a shade
lower figun-s on barret, and, more es
pccially, box stock, and at the moment
it is difficult to see any immediate
change for the better.
On the other hand, everything is a
