EXPORT FRUIT
EFFECT OF EXCHANGE RATES. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, December 21. The London manager of the New Zealand Fruit Board, Mr H. Turner, who returned by the Rangitata, expressed the hope that British tariff revision resulting from the Ottawa Conference would help New Zealand growers next season. Conditions on the Continent and in Scandinavia were making business most difficult. In consequence of different exchange rates Australian growers enjoyed a premium of 15 per cent., which enabled them to under-quote New Zealand and still realize a better price. New Zealand still held price of place for quality and under the most advantageous market condition commanded 1/- to 1/6 per case more than most other fruit.
