APPLE EXPORT GUARANTEE. Wr- * Per Press Association.

Nov. 16.

Last July the Government decided to extend tho guarantee of Id per lb. on apples of approved varieties exported from New Zealand up to 100,000 cases; As there seems to be considerable ground for anticipating that if the market conditions in tho United Kingdom remain favourable the export af apples will exceed 100,000 cases, Caei- . net has agreed to extend tho guarantee to cover 200,000 cases, on condition - that the Government reserves its right to restrict tho guarantee to a lesser quantity,' after giving reasonable notice, if it is satisfied later on that the market conditions ,at the other end do not warrant exporting as much as 200,000 cases.
