QUEENSLAND BANANAS
For the first time for seven years, Australian bananas were marketed in Christchurch last week. The fmit came from Queensland, via Melbourne, and realised an average of 26s 6d a case. The consignment, which was in excellent condition, and of good quality, met a keen demand as it arrived on a market which was practically ba:re. For some years it has not been a paying proposition to send bananas from Australia to this country, because there is always a good market for high quality in Australia, and also because the Isand fruit landed in the Dominion as a rule sells at prices which make Australian competition unattractive. It is only when the New Zealand market is poorly stocked at the same time as there is a largo supply available on the other side of the Tasman that exporting of bananas from Australia to New Zealand becomes a payable proposition.
