OTAGO FRUIT SCARCE.
Itbb psaas SfttUi muHm.j DUNEDIN, February 15. ! Otago fruitgrowers had to face a severe loss in apricots and peach yields this season on account of the destructive storms that visited the district in September, and now many of them find that the 1 apple crop is going to be short b- a great deal. Frqm Ettrick on to Roxburgh-and Coal Creek, the hailstorms damaged the fruit crops, and other districts suffered in a lesser degree. As a result the supply from Central Otago will be much below the average, and consequently, higher in price. As some compensation, what is left is of exceptionally good quality. Cooking sorts are just cominar to market, also* the earliest of the dessert sorts, the Gravensteins.
