A FUTURE FOR EGGS.

RECENT EXPERIMENTAL SHIPMENT.

. (FROM OCR OW.V CORRESPONDENT.^ LONDON, January 19. There seems to be a possibility of opening up. a market hero with Now Zealand eggs, provided certain conditions are recognised and that adequate and special -packing is -adopted. .Jt will not do ,for New . Zealand eggs to bear in London any stamp telling of tho country of . thoir origin, and it. will be no use their arriving here after tho beginning of February, for from "that month onward to November, large consignments arc landed from Siberia and Italy and other Continental sources of supply. Hut people who know lvhat they am talking about are fairly sanguine that a good market demand would ensue for eggs arriving hero from about the end of October to early in February—shipments" to be despatched from the Dominion in September; October, and November. ■ . • ■ A Dunedin tirm sent Homo an experimental consignment of speciallypreserved eggs.- There were altogether twenty cases, each case containing twenty-two dozen Pggs. Owing t(r inadequate packing, some of tho eggs were, broken, but those which arrived whole were in excellent condition, and those \yhp know London's requirements consider that thero is."overy. prpspecfc of a good trade being developed, providing all tho needs aro recognised and carried out. It is thought not un-likely-that-eggs can be sent to London merely in the cool chamber, without the aid of any preservative. Past experience seems to show that eggs do not require a temperature any lower than 4odeg. '
