Not only so, but profits have improved, inasmuch as work-. , ing costs have been reduced in a greater pro- ; - portion thin the grado of ore has fallen off.' //./'.v COLONIAL TRADE EXPANSION. 7 • ; In v iew' of .the-''altered' conditions of the / markets in Australia,;. New Zealand, and. Canada, thiongli the adoption by the same ofnew Customs tariffs, and the passing of local measures', for the encouragement of industry, ! the Manufacturers'' Association of ■ Great Britain his dccided./to dispatch:a commercial mission i.v inquire into aud report upon the tra'dfe nositioii and prospeAts in the portnn's or''the't'ii-rire named. The Commissioner ap pointed to undertake the inquiry is Mr. Ben H. Morgan, who reported in a similar, capacity on the trade." of South' Africa samb; time : ago.: The. Commif'sioher.rhas-.been authorised to report on- the . extent -and possibilities of the market; witb- aiTiew. 'to : (a) "increasing , export trade; (b) establishing branch factories behind the tariffs; the extent and condition of local industries;.,the. nature and extent of foreign competition; transport' services,/with special reference to, shipping "rings" and '"confer-; ' ences"; the operation of local tariffs, and-prob--'5 able effects of, preferences. It is understood that Mr. Morgan-will-also make representations dir/'3t; to'the Australian Government, ' a view to securing, further reductions oil various items of tho tariff, and increased preferences in favour, of British manufacturers before the Bill receives tho approval- of the Senate, and ho will also discuss with representatives of the various Governments a num-. ber of questions, such as .methods of assessing- and collecting Customs duties, the fiscal 'treatment of catalogue, of British manufac- : turers, this extent of encouragement that .will be given to British manufacturers establishing branch factories, and many other matters, a clear understanding of which .will., greatly : facilitate trade within the Empire. ■ . THE WOOL MARKET.' / Messrs. Helmuth, Schwartz and Co., iii their annual review of the wool trade, give expression to the following' opinion regarding the prospects for tho current year :—"Statistically, no doubt, tho position is a good -one. Stocks are 'not very large. There 'will- certainly; be no increaso . of' importance to be dealt with. I'riccs have . fallen ; to a far more reasonable level. Demand, though considerably reduced, is still fair. But the want of confidence already touched on above is .undoubtedly a factor to bo taken into consideration. And ■ the present clearness of money is another serious obstacle which must bo removed ero any : recovery 'can', be' expected.. Should financial affairs in America snow some real solid improvement, and should money consequently ' come cheaper, , we think that confidence will soon bo restored and that present values of merino wool will not appear excessive. But until dealers, manufacturers, , and consumers .can move with much greater'financial free- ■/ dom than at present, there is, in our opinion, little imnroviunent to bo looked for,. Tha

future of crossbreds. also is..naturally dependent 'in great measure on the general conditions referred .to above. The fact that their production-is practically stationary is doubtless an argument, iu favour of the'stability'of values.' But with fashion still turning steadily to merino it is questionable, whether even the- recent fall in values 1 has. put them on a safe level, and whether, for the, coarser sorts at . any rate, we can expect: to see lately current prices • maintained in the coming year."

V;. NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE. . ' The premium income, for ,1907, of the New York Life Insurance Company wfis .£16,426,000, which includes ' Ifirst year's ; vpi;eihhims of " The total' income from..all sources was .£21,009,000. The total disbursements of the year were .£13,300,000, whichj include the sum of .£9,870,000 paid to. .policy-holders .and their representatives. - In spite 01-: the authoriit.y which, it is understood,'.has. been grafted b'v the Insurance. .Commissioners of-, various States, io' .value the .securities/at-; the. market prices prevailing at December .'l3, 1906, this company-has, it - is stated;:;in pursuance of its" regiilav practice, taken -tho. actual market value of-its securities •as at December 31 last. On this basis the total assets^'jis:'admitted by the Government Insurance Department of the State 'of <New..York, amount to <£101,600,000. The amount allotted for bonuses during the current/year.- is .the largest.' in the history of ■the company, and- amounts to ,£1,274,000. Owing ,to .'the Act of : the Legislature 1 of' tho State-of New York, -which 1 came into force on. January 1. 1907, prohibiting .the large life insurance companies under . their jurisdiction from exceedinir a maximuni of J830.000.000 of new business in /any year, this company rearranged its agency machine^.-in-1906 to conform to. this new requirement,.;and the new 'insurances actually paid'for during tho past year" amounted to ,£27,817,000. The total insurance at present in force.''is, .£412,000,000. The, Eight:, Honourable. Viscount: Selb.v, who will be- better -remenibered as■ ;Miv' Gully, exSpeaker of the House of Commons, has been appointed-ono of the British: _trustees of the company, in succession to the litto Lordy Davy.

MINI>,G ' ' ,- '.(BY CORRESPONDENT.)' • AucKL^JDj-February,2G. Development works at No.'-/4"level in;.the. Waih'i Grand-Junction Mine are being steadily pushed -forward, the main .work in hand, including tlie going east of the drive -on . the- Martha and No., 2 lodes. The Martha,or parent'pro'.body.'continues.to'cany... soine' : very'good ore on- the footwall side, but the .width of „the quartz containing the satisfactory .values' is irregular, sometimes opening out to 4ft. or sft., and again pinching down to a mere seam. It may, however, be said that the occurrence of pay dirt so far east of tho shaft i< to be regarded.as a very satisfacfeature. as'the. lßvol above tlio reef'was practically barrenat" this point, which' is about SGOEt. east of the. shaft.'-The drive on tho No. 2'lode ;has been in low/grade quartz for the , last 16ft. "or 20ft.', but - as. previous development, has disclosed the' existence of a short' stretch of -'comparatively poor dirt. between the values it is quito. likely that pay oro will again'be met with as the shaft is advanced. ... Stoping is being, continued on tho Martha and No.. 2.reefs at. tho.three levels opened up, and about 150 tons of-'ore per day are ,being, sent to tho mills forAtrcatmcnt. The quantity of quartz being brokbn'.out points to a considerable increase iii the tonnage to bo handled,, for ..the four weekly period; now drawing to a' close,■' correspondingly higher gold yield may-"consequently be looked for. Somo jnonths, ago, a crosscut .was .started at the south-east -from the shaft, but, owing to difficulty, experienced by the management in getting men at'that time of tho work lias been retarded. This work is now to bo pushed ahead more vigorously, and a contract is being let for driving with a rock drill. Tho crosscut ~ivi-.l explore the ground to the south of-.the shaft; and-if the; Empire. and; Royal reefs continue eastward from th"o AVaihi mino both lodes shouUl 119' intersected. Preparations have now been-practically completed, for restarting the sinking of , the shaft for No. 5 level. A large-electric ;turbine pump hits been, installed and will bo ready to run in a few days. With the pumn ar work it is that no difficulty/will bo experienced with tho water going down. . ,
