"AFTER THE WAR"
I POSSIBILITIES OF FRUIT TRADE. j* The New Zealand High Commissioner ® (the Hon. T. Mackenzie) lias some hopo i that after the war certain New Zealand products may find a ready market in s England. In a letter to tho Hon. A. ' M. Myers ho writes s "Wlion the war is over, whoever may, ~ be in charge hero will have great oppor-i tunities for usefulness in the direction ? of pushing the trade of New Zealand both in the Old Country and on the 8 Continent. I have been fortunate in r receiving three small lots of fruit from !j Now Zealand, and they have pleased the people here exceedingly. Some apples • were exhibited, and gained a silver ? medal. New Zealand apples have soli at 33d. each wholesale, and New Zea* land pears at Is. 4d, each retail. One could not, of course, expect such prices to be a regular thing, but tho fact that on the wholesale and retail markets our fruit realised these prices is an indication of the possibilities of developing the fruit trade, an industry I have haa so much at heart since I took up tho portfolio of Agriculture."
