APPLE EXPORT TRADE
SHIPPING SPACE PROBLEM
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, December 14. Fruit importers at present are not hopeful about the prospects of New Zealand and Australian apple shipments in 1941.
Some of the largest dealers fear that the speech of the Food Controller, Lord Woolton, on November 28, means that no shipping sp&ce will be available, but point out that conditions may improve within the next two months. They recall a similar pessimism this time last year, but a fair quantity was shipped. Meanwhile apples are becoming a luxury. British' supplies are dwindling, and shops are charging Is, Is 4d, and some even Is 8d a lb for desserts.
It is expected that shipments s of canned fruits and also jam will continue to be restricted, but less drastically than apples, as they do not require refrigeration.
NATIONAL BANK DIVIDEND.
The general manager of the National Bank of New Zealand, Ltd., has received the following cable from his London office: —The board of directors of the National Bank of New Zealand, Ltd., order payment of an interim dividend of 1J per cent, less United Kingdom income tax at 8s 6d in £1 in respect of the year ending March 31, 1941, payable in New Zealand on January 14, 1941.
