High praise is given by Mr Thomas Cunningham, the fruit inspector at Vancouver, to a shipment of 1011 boxes of pears from New Zealand. “ These pears are about the cleanest that ever came into British Columbia. They are in perfect condition,” said Mr Cunningham to a “Daily Nows Advertiser,*' correspondent, “ and if New Zealand and Australia can ship such fruit as this we shall only be too glad to receive it in lieu of that which comes from south of the international boundary. The opportunities of reciprocal trade between those British countries and our own are great. Their season is the reverse of ours, and if a reciprocal tariff could be set up it would mean that fruit would be cheaper on account of no duty having to be paid, and it would mean a continuous supply. All we ask for is absolutely clean fruit. It must be free from all infection in order to come into British Columbia.” A shipment from New South Wales did not arrive in such good condition, and a number of boxes had to bo condemned. Included in the New Zealand varieties were Beurre Deil, Vicar of Wakefield, Beurre de Clarigue, Beurre Bose, Keefer’s Hybrid, and Capiamont. HEADACHES.
