Toronto, Ont. Dear Mr McAllister t- ^e I last wrote you on Sep I6th. and have had your litter of t«lf Elst. Regarding the Fordson Tractor . The only loss we will have on this will be the dpreciation on the machine if we turn it in. The tracks for the Fordson cost about flOOO. If we sell the Ford and turn in the old Cletrao and buy a new Olectroc the cost will also be about a thousand Dollars. The Fordson with wheels coat only «g£& $685. and as others are us^fing them I thought we should, but our place can not be worked with a wheeled machine. The young trees in the forth Bast corner were gmfted over to Cat^aa i .Baldwin on account of the trun^rks being frost killed. We npw have a Baldwin frame work and we have budded this back to whai* they were supposed to hw. Finance.— At the present time our Loan amounts to |I4#400. With September wages not paid. The Paperr la also unpaid. But we have settled for the Box shook, and taken the discount. ^o money has been advanced to us on fruit as yet. Ill my opinion it would have been bad business to have made advances uns41i we eouid see money coming for this years crop. I have also bee£ dealing with the Bank for a better rate of interest and an advance might have a bearing on it. The lank have agreed to give us a tate of 6% providing the balance carried In the accoimt is not too low. I have a letter from Boraer also re^Tnding the payment of |2,000. 1 will forward cheques for this amount. You might send me a voucher for a $1000. traveling expenses and i will ask Dormer for a similar one. fhile the scheme of advancing money b$r the Union has been given up, 1 expect that advances will be made much pronfter than in the past. The Market is holding strong and the crop is moving out fairly well. Eeferring back to the Finance. It is my opinion that before making further advances we should clean up our advances from the Bank, or satisfy them that the Loan will be cleaned up at the end of the season. The Macintosh packing finished last night, fehy turned out about 3,000 in ail,or one thousand less $rhan our estimate. About 1500 boxes of Jonathan have been packed. About half of them are packed. All fruit is lacking in colour this year and our grade will be not as good as last year. The weather has been the^ limit. Rain nearly every day. If it dont let up now it will be A O J.s£«Uch. Oct, 6th ( 2 } a have a fair si ~,ang and should be able to get the crop $tt if any one does. have lost nothing by dropping so far. Wealthy and Mac?, dropped badly in the Coldstream. There will no doubt be Ater core. A week ago none of the Winters were fit to plok , today th-*-v should all be off. Conditions of this kind are hard to over co^.e. If anv thin* 7 *ad happens 1 will advise you. The Orov w\\ 4> ,. it future marketing preb] rh#n X 3©e you. wv.fl t j 7f, baforw 1 can get away.
