TRADE AND INDUSTRY.
A CHRISTCHUECH VIEW. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. In an address at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr H. J. Marriner (acting-president) said the trade outlook was promising. The demand for wool was increasing, and the trade of Europe and America was expanding in all branches. Unless European complications intervened the Dominion should have another period of prosperity. The only disturbing factor -was labour. For the first time for fifteen years the returns last year showed a docre-ase of 1042 adult workers and 125S juniors. Christehurch hau paid £29,310 less in wages than in the previous year, indicating that investors were tired of -continual worry and anxiety as to the future, and were withdrawing capital. Labour had yet to learn that unless the investor could get a fair return for his money he would not invest in the industry.
