THE EXPORT OF FRUIT.

PROPOSAL OF THE NEW ZEALAND

SHIPPING COMPANY

OtmPort Albert correspondent writes : —The usual monthly meeting of the Port Albert Agricultural Society was heldonThui'sday,at Mr B. M. Gubb's residence. An interesting discussion on the question of exporting fruit to England took place. Mr B. M. Gabb reported that he had been corresponding with English fruiterers, and ho hoped the information obtained would lead to gr' y ing result*. It was advisable to send only the better kinds of apples, and they should arrive in England in April and May. The secretary of the Agricultural Society (Mr T. A. Ciubb) lias received the following letter from the manager of the N.Z.S-S. Company on this subject, which should be of special interest to Auckland fruit growers seeking an outside market:— Dear Sir,—l am in receipt of your favour of 22nd inst, re freight on fruit to Lon don. If steamer is provided with cool chamber the rate of freight would be lid per pound on the gross weight, if taken as ordinary cargo and steamer calls at Auck land 50s per ton measurement, in both cases with 10 per cent, primage added. Should Auckland not be made a port of call, there would be an additional freight of 10s per ton measurement for coastal freight to steamer's final port of departure. A com mission of 5 per cent, on the freight is re turned to shipper. At present the Aorangi is the only Company's steamer that ia fitted with cool chamber. She leaves New Zealand on the Bth March, and is due in London on the 19th April. These dates should suit you very well. In the event of your shipping as ordinary cargo, great care should be taken in packing, that only one sort be packed in the one case, as in the case of a shipment of 22 cases made by Mr Whitney by the Ruapehu last March several difierenb sorts were packed in the one case, the consequence being the apples that were not of a good keeping kind rotted the ones that were; but for this the shipment would have been successful, as what did turn out ia good condition realised Is 3d per pound. I would also suggest that you pack in the American style, viz., wrap each apple in paper and pack in light hay, or instead of nay merely place a tnin partition between each layer of fruit. Trusting that these re marks may be of some service. If you could offer a large quantity and let me know the date you would be prepared to ship, it may be an inducement to the Company to send a steamer to Auckland and thus save the extra charge of 10s for costal freight. I am, youra faithfully, Chaiues V. Hough ton, Local Manager.
