It was stirred up by the recent Invasion ot California fruit and by Mr ■ Gladstone's recommendation to small British farmers to give up growing wheat and take to fruit growing. In this connection Richard B. Blackmore, the novelist. who to.- forty years has been a large fruit grower upon his model farms in Surrey. has written a letter to the Times In which he says that it is Impossible at the present wholesale prices of English fruit to make a fair profit. Apples alone, says Mr. Blackmore, would give a fair return if the British farmers only had them. In tbe face of these facts, which can only become more adverse every year. Mr. Blackmore expresses tbe opinion that it would be cruel deception to talk of profitable fruit growing In England. Mr. White, of Covent Garden market, tells that the trouble Iles In the fact that the bulk of English fruit Is maggoty, while tn America the fruit-grower destroys the moth by washing the trees.

Al the same time he was selling thousands ot forty-pound cases of California pears at 1C shillings to 14 shillings per case. In conclusion Mr. White says: «! he public arc the bast judges, and they prefer to pay this price for a first-class article to buying English pears at 2 shillings and 4 shillings per bushel.” The Times, commenting on the subject, remarks: “Foreign competition is Increasing and must bo expected to increase. Covent Garden prefers the finest foreign fruit to fruit, aud we suppose it follows the public taste ” i
