STIMULUS TO BUSINESS.
OPINIONS IN -WELLINGTON. "WILL MEAN GREAT SAVING." (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The head of a, large wholesale house to-day expressed appreciation of the Government's decision to reduce the postage rates. There was no doubt, he said, that a great deal of business previously enjoyed by the post office had been diverted to other channels. Whether all of it would return remained to be seen. There was no doubt that the reduced charges would stimulate business, but there was reason to doubt if the post office would regain all its lost business. "In the meantime we can only say how pleased we are at the Government's action," he said. "It will certainly be a great saving to us and savings are of first-class importance at the moment." Another, speaking along the same lines, added that the stimulating effect on business would be enhanced if the telegraphic charges were brought down to the old rate. A similar statement was also made by the president of the Chanlber of Commerce, Mr. J. Pearce Luke, and by the chairman of the Associated Chambers, Mr. W. Machin.
