AUSTR ALIAN ORANGES FOR EUROPE In an effort to exploit the Continent, London and English provincial markets for oranges, how monopolised, by. California and. Spain,' Australian fruit exporters shipped 12,000 cases of oranges by the' P. and O. liner Barrabool, which left Melbourne on July 14. A special hold was reserved for the oranges to prevent contamination of other refrigerated cargo, and the fruit when landed will be inspected by officers of the Cambridge research organisation.
