EXPORT OF EGGS.
The experimental shipment of eggs made to. the London market by the Government in December last arrived in excellent condition, and was successful in demonstrating its objectivethat New Zealand eggs can be shipped successfully to distant oversea markets 'if carried in a coolchamber at a temperature of about 45 degrees. The eggs met a poor market, and realized Bs. per 120 wholesale (9|d. per dozen). Reporting on the shipment, Messrs. H. C. Lane and Co., the London agents, state that the ■eggs when tested were found to be in splendid condition. Judging by the analysis they could be fairly described as new laid. They compared very favourably with eggs sent to Britain from Denmark and Russia. Hardly an egg in the 300 was broken. “From our point of view,” the London agents conclude, “the experiment has been entirely successful.”
