The 15,315 cases of apples that the Westmoreland took from New Zealand and lapded in London a few days before Easter were from Nelson orchards. Otago orchardists (states the Dunedin “Star”) are not ’n the least envious. They are glad that Nelson had the luck to get the fruit Home in perfect condition and in time to be marketed before the long holiday. Three shipments of Australian anl Tasmanian apples were on the market at the same time, but owing to the excellence of the New Zealand fruit this fact made practically no difference to the prices obtained for the latter, .which was disposed of at an advance of several shillings over the Australian prices. Ten cases of Cox s Orange were sold to. a West End buyer nt 40s. It just happened that this particular buyer wanted the apples at any price, and a special selection was made. Possibly he was supplying them for a dinner party, with the tickets two guineas a head. For Children’s Hacking Cpugh, Woods’ Great Pepeprmint Cure.
