I t may not be generally known
that in 1903, which wan the record
year for the importation of apples
from the United Staten and Can
ada to the different tnarkdtn with­
in the United Kingdom of Great
Britain, the total importation
reached the enormous number of
3,063,000 barrels. The vfflue of alt
those barrels of American uppleg
la placed at no lean than f t , 100,660.
Thia in quite a jump from the
*1,728.626 worth oi American ap­
ples which were Unported by Eng
llsh bnyera in 1891). Thia *7,000,-
900 apple crop which went to real-
denta of Great Britain was from
the United States in 1903. and
Canada sent to the eaters of the
American apple over *4,090,000
worth of Canadian apples. A il
American fruits, whether grown
in Great Britain or not, command
good prices on the other side of the
Atlantic, and, whereas, the Eng
llsh formerly obtained moat of
their pears from Flan«*, the
United Staten, now leads France hi
the pear trade with Great Britain.
Five years ago France sent pears
to the value of *740,306; last year
the value had fallen to *661,430
The value of the importations
from the United States rose from
*224,886 in 1899, to *684,710 in
1903.
Word comet from one of the
United States consuls in England
that the apple dealers and eonsum
era in England deplore the derad
euce of the good old Hudson Rivet
Pippins, and although a consider
able quantity was received there,
few, if any, c a m e up to the stand
