EXPORT OF DUCKS.
A small consignment of New Zealand ducks which were sent Home to a dealer in London with other frozen produce, arrived in good order. The firm to whom the ducks were consigned express the opinion, that there appears to he no reason why poultry farmers should not pay more attention to the industry, and more particularly to the rearing of ducks for export. He says that the average of the consignment is up to that of the English duck, and when ready for the table their appearance is similar to that of the Home bind. The quality is reliable, and the birds realised the standard price of frozen produce, viz., a little over 6s per pair, which should pay alright.
