There are too many applea now on the i market, and unless there is a far greater consumption within the next month or so much stock will be wasted in the warehouses of the country. Many dealers who purchased apples at the higher prices some months ago are j now quite willing to take heavy losses and get the stock into consump tion, but it appeara aa if most of the shipping organizations are still insisting upon securing the full former price.
