NAPIER TO-DAY
FRUITGROWERS’ DIFFICULTIES WOOL STORE BLOWN INTO AIR (By Telegraph—Press Association) NAPIER, This Day. The weather is fine, with a squally westerly wind which has a decided nip in it. The sea is dead calm. Difficulties are being experienced by fruit-growers owing to the dry spell, and the high winds are causing the fruit to fail-:** Those well protected from the winds are able to attend to expert work, but the continuance of the present conditions will do much damage. There have been no shocks worthy of mention during the last 30 hours. Messrs Williams and Kettle’s big wool store, which was badly damaged by the original shake, was blown into the air this morning, exposing the wool completely to the weather. It is thought that there were no casualties among the workmen engaged in rescuing the wool. Undumped bales of wool are being dispatched to the Home market as rapidly as possible in order to make a clearance.
