The Apple Trade
Back Loading for Vessels COMPETITION WITH AUSTRALASIAN FRUIT. INOPPORTUNE SHIPMENTS FROM AMERICA. (By Cable.—Preaa Association.—Copyright.] (Received 17, 11.5 a.m.) London, Nov. 16. Steampship companies carrying apples from the Pacific Coast to England via the Panama Canal have agreed to accept freight here provided they receive a banker’s guarantee. The National Fruit Traders’ Federation is asking the Australian shipping lines to make similar arrangements. Messrs F. W. Moore and Company have written to Mr Bruce and Mr Massey regarding the proposed duty on apples, pointing out that this year 420,000 cases of United States apples arrived here after the Australasian season had opened, and thus Australian and New Zealand apples had to meet unexpected competition to that extent, in addition to 264,000 cases of Canadian apples, with the resit that for one-third of the season Australian and New Zealand growers received nothing for their fruit.—(A. and N.Z.)
