THE CITY MARKETS

Last.week'B shipment of Barotongan fruits arrived in very, good order generally, and met a very ready demand at lato rates. Sydney shipments are on the increase, this week's steamer landing a fair consignment of mandarins, pineapples, and passion fruit, which sold well.

"That settles it!" is what farmers say when tliey hear of prices paid by the Wanganui Fresh Food Company. Of'course you will supply the company that gives yon the best result, and noes- not want yon to pay out in shares what will take years perhaps to earn. What is the good of shares to you when you sell out your place? Hail your milk and cream to tlie Wanganui Fresh Food Co.—Advt',
