A reply has, however, been received from New Zealand to the effect that the request cannot be granted at present, and the-hopo is expressed that the regulation will be given a fair trial. It is intimated that if it is found that consignments forwarded show a small percentage of infection, negotiations may bo renewed with a view to having tho regulation eliminated. , Up to the present no official intimation has been received by tho Department of Agriculture that the new regulations have been put. into operation, nor havo anv copies been received. .At the.last meeting of tho New South Wales Fruitgrowers' Union it was decided to interview the Minister for Agriculture in regard to tho regulations.
