FRUIT INDUSTRY.
CANADIAN CASES PREFERRED. By Telegraph—Press Association. NAPIER, June 16. Mr T. C. Bra-sh, president of the New Zealand Fruitgrowers’ Federation, stated at a meeting at Hastings to-day that freight charges paid to the shipping companies by the three New Zealand export boards amounted to three million sterling. About half a million Canadian fruit eases were imported into the Dominion last, year, and this year the importations’will reach approximately the same figure. This means that about £25.000 is lost to the New Zealand timber) trade. The use of the Canadian ease is libelv to increase, and is advocated purely ’because of it.s great superiority over the local production. Though the New Zealand case is so inferior, it costs more. These facts were tioned at the Conference of Fruitgrowers, at Hastings this morning.
