SHIPPING OF PRODUCE.
Sir, —I note with amazement the published information that the Fruitgrowers' Export Organisation is shortly sending to Wellington for shipment 1400 cases of Gravenstein apples grown in the Auckland district. What is wrong with the port at our doors? Why is it deemed necessary that Auckland produce should be sent to be loaded from the Wellington wharves, agd swell the revenues of Wellington, and help employment in Wellington '! Are our waterside workers so overladen with work that it is deemed better service can be given in Wellington ? I think this action cannot be too strongly condemned by all who have the interests of Auckland at heart, and are concerned in her prosperity. Akarana.
