The Cause of It.
The Ilickcry Carolinian, of a recent
date, wants to know why it is. that
Northern apples are shipped' to this city
and sold at from $2 to $3.50 per bushel,
when our own State can furnish equally
as good fruit at a much less price?
We have taken considerable pains to
thoroughly investigate this matter, and
have satisfied ourselves that apples
from Western North Carolina can be
put on our market ju3t as cheaply as
can Northern apples. The freight tarifl
on apples, potatoes, onions and other
vegetables at all points between States
viile and Asheville, on tho "Western
North Carolina Railroad, to this city,
is 35 cents per 100 pounds. Apples
will average about 165 pounds to tho
barrel, which wonld make the freight
about 60 cents on each barrel. The
freight from New York by steamer is
30 cents per barrel. The apples shipped
from that city are produced mainly in
the Genessee and Mohawk valleys,
whence they are brought to New York
by canal boat or rail at a cost includ
ing the necessary extra handling
which, added to the steamer's charges,
would fully equal the expense attending
apples shipped from the Western per"
tion of this Stale.-
The freight thus being very nearly
equal, olher'causes must be looked to for
the solution of the problem, to which
we think we have found the key . The
trouble lies iu the fact tbat the apple
growers in the. Western portion of the
State do not exercise the same care in'
selectiog and putting up fruit as do the'
people of the North, in consequence of
which they arrive here in an . unsala
ble condition. That is the opinion ot
one who has dealt largely in fruit in the
last four or five years. Apples, brought
from Western North Carolina aro not
carefully selected, and many of them
arc put up in unsuitable packages and
in a careless, slovenly manner, so that
they arrive here with many of them
rotten, uninviting and consequently un
salable. Our Western friends should
look carefully to these important mat
ters if they would succeed against their
Northern competitors. The fruit is
equally as good, but it is not handled
and selected as carefully.
