 large stocks were left on hand in that State at the end of the season 

 it might be possible to secure them at a reasonable price, whilst such 

 would not be the case had these boxes to be specially cut. Add to these 

 reasons already given tliat fact that nearly 8 per cent, more boxes 

 of oranges are packed in the latter sizing than the former, and that 

 oranges are invariably sold by the box, it follows that exporters will 

 get just that amount more for their fruit than formerly — and this, I 

 think, makes the case for the change a good one. In order to make 

 the alterations clear, two sets of diagrams are given.
