NEW ZEALAND GROWN
ORANGES BRING GOOD PRICES
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, October 2. Record prices were received for Keri-Keri oranges auctioned on the Christchurch market today. One broker sold 27 bushel cases from 38s to 41s. The fruit sold was, of the Mediterranean Sweet variety, and, according to the broker, was a credit to the grower. Retailers eagerly pounced on the opportunity of securing New Zealandgrown oranges, as they had been suffering from short supplies for a long time. The last overseas shipment was received ten days ago from South Australia, but it was a small consignment and arrived in "wasty" condition, necessitating repacking.
