ISLAND ORANGES
A POOR SHIPMENT. WELLINGTON, June 26. Now is the height . of the island orange season, and the Maunganui, which arrived at Wellington to-day from San Francisco, via Papeete and Rarotonga,, brought about 17,000 cases of fruit, chiefly oranges from Rarotonga. A large number of oranges were landed in a very pulpy condition, and will be destroyed. A big percentage had been packed 'more than 10 days before they were loaded, and this is the main reason for their deterioration. Additional factors were wet weather in the Cook Islands and that in many of the plantations the tree s were getting old, and had not been pruned properly.
