- Record for Hawke's Bay Fruit. Hawke's Bay fruit growers haye this year set up new records and the season is as busy as ever. The largest handling of cases (apples and pears) for railing to .Wellington so far has been 9000 cases in one day, and the average has been between 6000 and 7000 cases for a couple of weeks past. A total of 50,000 cases was expected for last week, notwithstanding that all transport work was suspended on Good Friday. This would be easily a record, for the highest previous figure attained in the preceding week was 40,000 cases. At the present tipae, the tail end of Hawke's Bay Jonathan crop is being handled, while the packers are about in the middle of the Delicious crop, and are also handling Winter Neiis and P. Barry pears. A few Ballarat apples are now coming forward, and also the last of the Dunn's. Probably in the course of next week the first railings of the new season s Hawke s Bay Sturmers and Statesmen will be made.
