EXPORT OF FRUIT.
HINTS FROM LONDON. By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright. (Received -April 11, 1.20 p.m.) LONDON, April 10. At a meeting of the Cold Storage and Ice Association Mr F. Moore; read a paper on " Fruit and Refrigeration." Tho correct temperature to carry apples, he said, was about 33deg Fahronboit, with no greater range than 2deg each May. Some fruits carried better if pre-cooled. This was unnecessary with apples, but was very desirable for pears. They must look beyond the refrigerating engineers before they could rely on receiving Antipodean "fruits at their best. They must not expect refrigeration thoroughly to preserve fruit which was not in the best condition when reaching the refrigerator. Not sufficient importance was attached to the proper timo for gathering fruit and its treatment afterwards. Sir Thomas M'Konzie presided at the meeting.
