APPLE DEMAND ACTIVE
HOT WEATHER IN BRITAIN CONTINENTAL MARKET GOOD (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association) Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Saturday. Apple prices are well maintained, despite the very heavy arrivals from Australia and New Zealand. The demand all over the country is active, under the influence of fine hot weather, which naturally makes people want fruit. The Continental demand is also strong, and the experiment in transshipping several thousand cases of Australian fruit to Antwerp met with considerable success. Undoubtedly, the Continental markets can absorb a considerable quantity of Australian and New Zealand fruit. Several of them would like direct shipments. This is worth consideration by shippers in future years, but care must be taken not to overdo the shipments. Not many years ago, a parcel of Tasmanian apples had to be reshipped to London from Hamburg, owing to a glut there.
