A cable message recently reported that a shipment of apples from New Zealand was landed at Montevideo by the Hororata with the fruit in an over-ripe condition. It was further stated that an allowance by the Neve Zealand Shipping Company was necessary owing to the condition in which the apples were landed. The New Zealand Shipping Company is informed by cablegram from Montevideo that the Hororata was not to blame for the condition of the apples. The company’s agents stated : "We have had the ship’s hold surveyed by a competent surveyor, who reports that the condition of the ship’s hold is excellent, and every possible precaution was taken by the ship.”
