NELSON APPLE EXPORTS
LAST SHIPMENT FORWARDED. 724,426 CASES FOR SEASON. By Telegraph—Press Association. NELSON, May 12. The last shipment of fruit to the United Kingdom was forwarded yesterday. The total for the season was 724,426 cases, against 991,729 last year. The drop was due to this being an “off” season in the orchards. Mr J. H. Brunt, shipping supervisee, anticipates that with suitable climatic conditions, next year’s crop, in an “on” year, should exceed the present record. Delicious and Statesman cropped particularly well. The falling off is due mainly to light cropping by Stunners. Pear exports rose from 39,000 to 45,960 cases. PRICES IN HAMBURG. (Received 16, 10.45 a.m.) HAMBURG, May 15. Apples arc in active demand.
