The total output of citrus fruit for
the season soon to close will approx
mate 10000 boxes. The steamer
Crescent has already carried out con-
siderable over 1900 boxes and there

has been shipped by rail it is thought
the total will be nearly, if not quite
10000 boxes. AS soon as all the
fruit has gone forward the News will
give the correct total.
