When the C. and D. liner Port Alma arrived at Lyttelton yesterday from London, via Suva, she carried on her decks 2800 cases of Fijian bananas. The consignment was in the way of an experiment by a group of Fijian growers and regular shippers of fruit who were dissatisfied with the present system, which is practically controlled by the Auckland market. The object of the consignment was to test the possibilities of trading with the South Island direct.
