In a report to the Department of Industries and Commerce dated the 3rd of last month, Mr. 11. C. Cameron, New Zealand Government Produce- Commissioner in London, says that tho unusually hot and dry weather of the previous two months had materially improved' tho fruit pulp market iii England, as buyers, instead of expecting largo supplies of small fruits, hftd recently begun to fear a shortago. Accordingly, prices for raspberry pulp had advanced steadily from 20s to 29s per cwt., nnd block currants were firm at about similar values. The market for plum and apricot pulp, on the other hand, was very depressed. A parcel which arrived early in Juno by the Ayrshire, and tho Dorset's consignment, which reached London at the beginning of July, wero still undisposed of at the date of the report. Tho market price for plum pulp then was only 5s per cwt, or actually less thnn the duty to do paid upon it, 7s per cwt. Mr. Cameron, referring to tht» visit paid to the Old Country by Mr. Charles Lowe, manager of the Motueka 00-opera-tivo Fruitgrowers' Society, says that if other companies wero to follow the example of tho Motueka Company great benefit would undoubtedly accrue to tho colony.
