N.Z. FRUITS. (Australian Press Association & Sun. (Received this da.v at 0.30 a.m). LONDON, March 20. New Zealand’s astounding progress in the dairy exports should shortly lie paralleled in the apple, exports, which in 1028 will double 1027, said Hon. Aniery opening the exhibition of fruit in the New Zealand offices. Ibis is typical of the enterprise and efficiency with which the New Zealand Government and producers entered the Kmpire .trade. Britain is endeavouring to co-operate through the Knipire Marketing Board urging Briton’s to buy more Dominion produce. Thus is not only an appeal to sontnient, hut it will react on British exports. | , Hon Atnery pointed out that every j ( New Zealand purchased thirty limes , more British goods than the average) , American. i [[on Aniery was photographed eat- | ing an apple from baskets represent- \ ing the first fruits of the season, with , which lie was presented hy girls in hlne j sashes, hearing the name of the pro- | vinces of Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, Nel- j son and Otago. i THE FRUIT EXHIIHTION.

MALTA, March 2d. s Because the cab drivers struck, tlio j, Treasury will be without funds from ~ Alarch 31st till April 11th. s Lord Strickland's allegation that the v opposition Senators were .supporting « the cab drivers, was indignantly re- t, pudiated and a withdrawal was de- n lnamled. Strickland refused and there- t upon the Senate adjourned till April j' Ilth as a protest, without passing the e Appropriation Bill. p The prospect of being without money n for eleven days led to such hostility (! towards the responsible Senators, that j, police are guarding them.

I DARING BURGLARY. LONDON, -March 20. Hatton’ Garden Diamond market which is one of the world’s most closely guarded streets, was the scene of a ( daring and skilful burglary during the - week-end, involving T. A. Huschiield. , liiainifacturiiig .jewellers, in the loss ol , precious stones and jewellery valued at .1)7,000. By means of oxy-acotyleno gas, a hole was cut through an inch thick of steel of the massive safe which is in full view of the opposite buildings in the daytime and is illuminated by a special beam of light at night. The thieves prepared two lines of escape, at the rear of the premises ... the event of being surprised, by cutting iron bars and removing the windows on two floors. They left two large cylinders and packing eases m u hub tiiev were originally contained, ami two bags of the most modern tools. The extraordinary skill and daring convinces the police of a dangerous gang.
