EXPORT OF KAURI.
HIGH PRICES REALISED. WELLINGTON, August 8. Kauri timber to the value of about £15,000 to £25,000 a year is exported from New Zealand, apart from the amount used in the Dominion. It is sent to Australia and Great Britain, where it is used for special work, particularly boat making and for barrels required for certain purposes. It is because of its special value that it realises very high prices for "export purposes. The export of pine is considerably beyond that of all other timbers put together. In the past three years larger orders have been placed with New Zealand manufacturers for fruit cases, butter boxes and cheese crates from New Zealand-grown timbers. Shooks for box-making have only been imported one year out of the last three, and the increase in the use of New Zealand timber has helped to give relief to an industry which has been sorelv in need of it..
