FINANCIAL POSITION IS DUNEDIN.
i&recur- to "thk press.") DUXEDIN, May 20. In all quartors there is a unanimitr of opinion among business men that the city occupies c financial poeition that is sound beyond all question.
A reporter interviewed a number of gentlemen prominent in the commercial community, and everywhere he found the same view expressed, that there was no cause for complaint at all, and if anything, trade vas showing; signs of improvement. This was the pronouncement in some warehouses in which luxuries formed the chief lines of business. A few merchants were not inclines to make any lengthy statement. ""We are going on all right,-" was the substance of their reply ; "we find business steady and good, and no difference between this year and last year.' . This was the view taken by managers of perhaps half a dozen large businesses.
One gentleman, with thirty veers' experience, gives as his opinion that the financial conditions are thoroughly sound' and that Dunedin is sounder than any other town in the Dominion.
The "'Otago Daily Times" says:— "CornnNsrce in Bnnedin rests to-day 011 c distinctly solid foundation, and the reputation of the city for its substantiality and the soundness of its business remains unimpaired."
