IMPORTED FRESH FRUIT
The New Zealand Fruitgrowers' Federation applied to tho Tariff Commission today for the retention of tho present duties on imported fresh fruit. Mr. H. E. Napier, general manager of the federation, said that tho principal importation of apples into New Zealand was from tho Pacific Coast, and was very largely to meet the demand for coloured apples just before Christmas when there were no big supplies of locally-grown coloured apples. So far as stone fruits were concerned tho application mainly dealt with imported cherries from Australia, tho mid-sea-son varieties of which competed with the early varieties of New Zealand cherries. The Caxton Printing Works, Ltd., Auckland, asked for the retention of the existing British preferential duty of 20 per cent., and tho foreign duty of 40 per cent, on toilet rolls and roll paper products.
