"DISTINCT PREFERENCE."
NEW ZEALAND FRUIT.
EQUIVALENT TO 2/3 A CASE.
"A distinct preference" was the description applied by a well-known fruitexporting firm to the Ottawa arrangement concerning that product.
It was explained that under the new duties the preference would be roughlv 2/3 a case, which was a much- better proposition than under the present arrangement. The industry would have preferred the introduction of a quota system, but it was not anticipated that exportatons would recede under the new terms. Experience had shown that the British consumer preferred a certain size and certain varieties of New Zealand apples, and the industry would be obliged to meet those requirements in the future. For dessert purposes, a large-sized apple was not in popular demand, and neither was a small size. What was required was an intermediate size.
