A TRADE FILLIP.

RESULT OF INDUSTRIES WEEK. "New Zealand Industries Week," which terminated last, evening, has given quite a fillip to trade. Judging by inquiries made yesterday there is good business to be done with the local product if it is freely., and frankly advertised as such instead of being kept behind stacks of.English and foreign goods, and .only produced', when specially asked for. In the meantime those tradesmen and manufacturers who have made such inand meritorious displays during the past week are regretting that it is over, on account, of trade having been so good. To those people the promoters of " Industries Week" would point'out that there is no restriction on the exhibition of New Zealand and they only have to take care that the public know that they are such in business S|pCUrß a continuat ion; of the good Furniture and billiard-table makers, softgoodsmen, dealers m rugs and blankets, un- ■ dcrclo tiling, confectionery, and many other Vank" e r, lfy t0 "Industries rim,lit H,+ 'l !|PT business, 1 leaving little doubt that it will become 1 a trade institution, m Wellington at all* events.
