WELLINGTON, October 16,

Disappointment- at the manner in which New -Zealand apples 'are being j advertised in England, is expressed .by Mr («., E. Fownos, who returned with Mrs Fewues by the • Manama I Hom a health trip -home, j He says that during the whole of his stay in England, he saw only one big aidvertisemeut of New Zealand fruit, and that was an old one! He understood the trouble lay in giving the distribution to one firm. One Cove sit Carden merchant, with whom lie had spoken, told him that under the previous arrangement, New Zealand fruit went into many of the high class restaurants and hotels but now it' was probably difficult to get it at any of those places. The merchant ■added he considered New Zealand apples to be the best graded of all overseas fruit and he regretted that the original arrangement was not still in operation. 'lhe merchant mentioned lie was leaving for Canada to arrange for Canadian apples to he sold on English markets, although lie very much preferred not to compete with New Zealand apples, of which his firm had sold many thousands of cases.
