BANANAS ON REEFER
‘Thumping Loss Inevitable’ “There must be a thumping loss, whatever happens now,” said Mr H. E. Radley, a fruit and produce merchant, yesterday, commenting on the condition of the bananas tn the African Reefer. The general* manager of Fruit Distributors. Ltd. (Mr C R. Walker) had flown to Christchurch yesterday, inspected the cargo and then returned to Wellington. Mr Radley said. “He wasn’t very happy' about them.” If the Tarawera, which was bringing the last of the South Australian navel oranges to Lyttelton did not arrive, there would be a shortage of oranges in the city and with so many persons ill with influenza there was a big demand for oranges. Mr Radley said The Tarawera was due to sail from Wellington for Lyttelton last evening, but was held in port by the Seamen’s Union decision There is no ban on Wellington watersiders unloading the oranges scheduled for the South l Island.
