THOUSANDS OF EGGS
SEASON'S FIRST SHIPMENT.
FOR LONDON MARKET,
Approximately 7500 dozen eggs will be shipped to London by the Rangitane on Friday. This will be the first of the season's shipment of eggs for export, and from now on till about the middle of November further shipments will be made. Next month it is expected over 27,U0C dozen egge will be shipped from Auckland province alone. An experiment is being tried with Friday's shipment in that the eggs are packed in a new style of container made of pulp. Each egg is in a separate compartment and the containers are placed in the crates, each of which holds 30 dozen eggs. The exporting is done by the egg export committee, a body representing the producers of the province. This morning a member of the committee stated that eggs were very plentiful at present and the object of exporting to England was to regulate the market and see that the producers in Auckland received a reasonable price for the local supply. •
