Oranges
THE New Zealand market was bare of oranges early in May, when a ship ment of 29,000 cases came in from the Cook Islands. Most of this fruit was in excellent order and sold rapidly, but there were bitter complaints from fruit merchants about the contents of some 5,000 cases, which had been loaded in rain, and which had deteriorated very much.
A small official party went around the Cook Islands recently to examine shipping and marketing facilities, and Mr. A.
Turner (supervisor of imported fruit for the Government) said that this season’s orange crop is likely to be a very heavy one.
