Great Britain, the United States Hol- land, Switzerland and Canada are the chief sources of the apple supply of Scandinavia. Practically all of the imports from Great Britain, however, must be credited to apples from trans- Atlantic sources, re-exported. The apples received from Germany also include large quantities of re-exports from Hamburg. It is evident, there- fore, says the Market Beporter, that American apples comprise a large part of the Scandinavian apple imports. Owing to the fact that the prices of trans-Atlantic apples in Sweden are too high for ordinary consumption until the cheaper varieties are ex- hausted, home-grown and Dutch ap- ples hold the market there until after Christmas. Holland and Switzerland have been the chief sources of Swed- en's apple supply since 1917, because war conditions curtailed trans-Atlantic shipping. Since the Dutch apple crop is a complete failure this year, the de- mand should be satisfactory for Amer- ican apples, both in boxes and in barrels. As a rule there is only a light de- mand for imported apples in Denmark before the middle of December, on ac- count of home and Dutch supplies. Owing to the failure of the Dutch crop, however, American apples in all probability will And an early market there this year. In Norway, the home grown Euro- pean imports supply the market until November, after which date trans-At- lantic shipments are in demand. The main season for shipping American apples to Norway is from December to March. Throughout Norway the red varie- ties command the best prices, Bald- wins, Kings, and Ben Davis packed in barrels being special favorites. Prac- tically no demand exists for gree
