SHORTAGE OF ORANGES.
(Special to the “ Star.”) DUNEDIN, This Day. Oranges have been scarce on the j Dunedin market for some time and 3650 cases from South Australia landed by the \\ aitaki were quickly sold to eager buyers at prices in advance iof those obtained for the previous shipment. “The demand is barely supplied.“ said the secretary of the Retail Fruiterers’ Association. We understand this to be the last shipment of oranges to be forwared fror South Australia this season, and if the Government does not permit any more shipments to be brought, there will soon be no supplies at all New Zealand merchants have not placed orders in Cali* fornia for supplies for some considerable time. Nothing definite has been heard regarding negotiations that Mr j Coates and Mr Masters are to make i during their present visit to Australia, and unless they make some arrangement vers- shortly there will be a complete slump in the orange market.
