' Most .of • the • poars.<on' the market are coming from Canterbury. . .. The Hutt district has produced'soma excf.lloii!. grapes this' year, .and. at present £ho Wellington market-is being supplied almost wholly from that district. High prices nr'o being paid,-' but the vines are now almost bare. . Mr. ; Mitchell; of -llpssrs. Laory and Co.:, anticipates that Wellington will in future be dependent solely oil South 1 Australia for its imported grapes;- as the need for/certificates that the fruit fly is not known to exist, within one milo of the place whero grapes for export are, grown will have the effect of stopping practically all exports of grapes' from New.. South "Wales. There -is not likely to ''bo any such .trouble experienced in South -Australia over this matter, and if prices realised here prove remunerative to growers there .will be an ample quantity of grapes sent forward every week in t.)>"/cn:ison from the middle State.
