WELLINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE LAST WEEK’S BUSINESS AND PRICES For this time of the year a good business was done on the Stock Exchanges last week, all the more favoured shares changing hands at steady prices. Government securities were rather slow, and little business was done in them. The 5 per cents, sold at £99, and the 54 per cents, at £lOl us. New Zealand Farmers’ Co-operative 6) per cents, changed hands at £93, and New Zealand Breweries, 10 per cent, bonds, at 245. 3d. and 245. 4Jd.

DECLINE IN' WOOL PRICES The drop in wool prices recorded at the last London sales does not altogether satisfy Yorkshire according to the report of a Bradford correspondent, who declares that wool must decline more before reaching what the trade regards as a satisfactory basis; however, there isilittle reason to anticipate a panic following the break in prices. As to the effect the drop tn raw material may have on the cost of clothes, there does not seem to, be much ground for hope, judging by paragraphs in the reports of 11. Dawson and Co., the well-known wool-brokers, which states: “It is felt, rightly or wrongly, that while the producers of cloth, have put goods on the market below the cost of production, the community has not benefited blit The merchants strongly resist any advance on last year’s prices, although during the year raw material showed generally an advance of front 10 to 20 per cent., anti occasionally even more. In another part of their report, Dawson nnd Co say; “The retailers comprise the only section ot the trade which seems able to prosper. There is not much comfort therefore for the ultimate consumer. Much interest is manifested at Bradford, where cloth values are supposed to be understood. In the display, by a firm in the centre of the city, of blue serge suits marked at ten guineas, if one reckons 14s. good retail for the cloth and four guineas for making the suit, there would be a lot of change out of seven guineas.’ HAURAKI MINES The manager of the Hauraki Mines Consolidated Limited, reports as follows:— “The drawlift which had to be installed to replace the plunger at the 400 ft. level, which gave out some time ago, has been completed, and has been pumping for three days. When pumping was commenced therewere 20ft. of. water on the 300 ft. flatsheet, ail the workings being full of water. To-day there are only sft. on the flat sheet and most of the workings are clear. On completion of the drawlift the men have been transferred to the drive nt the 180 ft level in the Union Beach section. The estimated distance to reach its objective,, the junction or the Cross reef and the Stockwood reef, is 10ft.: the rock in the face is moist and mild, indicating that the reef is not far off.” DAIRY PRODUCE TRADE “For the first time since before the war a complete trading year has passed tn which the ordinary factors of supply and demand have been allowed to operate normally without being complicated by political or economic influences,” state Messrs. W. Weddel and Co., in their annual review of the imported dairy produce trade for the vear ended June 30 last. It is added that there were no strikes or lockouts at Home or abroad big enough to have any effect upon the smooth running of the trade, nor any artificial Interference with the conduct of the business on the part ot Governments or trade boards. It was, states the review, just as great a relief to the New Zealand section of the trade in the United Kingdom as it was to producers generally in New Zealand to be free of ail official control and able to conduct business on ordinary commercial lines. At the conclusion of the experiment both shippers and Importers were glad to be relieved of the irritation inseparable from such outside domination, to say nothing of the enormous losses, amounting to several millions sterling, suffered by the dairy companies as a result of the Control Board fiasco. There was a long-continued industrial depression in the North‘and Midland districts, but .'notwithstanding that, \ve are told that the consumption of butter and cheese throughout the country as a whole appears to have been wonderfully, well maintained. The total Importation of butter into Great Britain, 274,307" tons, was 12.710 tons, or 4.G per cent greater than in the preceding twelve months. Australian shipments turned ont to be heavier than expected, and greater than what they were in 1926-27. New Zealand arrivals were heavier than ever before, despite increased exports of butter to North America and Australia, and a bigger make of cheese. Canada’s butter supply was negligible. From South Africa nothing, was received. Empire sources sent to the Mother Country a total of 101.027 tons, compared with 89,703 tons in 1920-27. This represents 37 per eent. of the total imports, against 34 per cent, in the year preceding. Foreign sources sent a total of (73,-80 tons of butter, compared with 171,834 tons in the previous year. Argentine suffered a verv serious set-back oh account of drought, while the effects of last years cold and wet summer all over Northern Europe were apparent in reduced totals from Holland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The Baltic Provinces of Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland showed considerable expansion In the production of butter for export, and are nt the same time showing promise of producing an article comparable ‘ in quality with that exported from'other European countries. Cheese imports show surprisingly little variation in each of the past three years. The figures are for 1927-28, 151.037 tons, and for the preceding two years 151.421 and 151.520 tons respectively. New Zealand totals were the highest on record; Canadian totals the smallest for many years. It is disappointing to notice,” tlic review observes. “that the total supplies of cheese from Empire sources have been falling away in recent years, while foreign supplies have been steadily increasing. New Zealand sent a total of 07.313 tons, of butter to the United Kingdom, an Increase of 19.1 per cent, on the previous year. Arrivals of cheese were 84.760 tons, an increase of 7.7 per cent. The total quantity of Australian butter imported during the twelve months was 33.582 tons, an increase of 11.1 per cent, on the year. Cheese totalled 2678 tons, compared with 1220 tons The imports of Argentine butter for 19-7--8 were 17.921 tons, a decrease of 32 per cent. Denmark sent 100,349 tons of her export of butter (146,000 tons), which was the heaviest on record. There are 10)6 dairies in respect to Siberia the review states that the export of bntter from that country last year amounted to 33.823 tons, of which 18.600 tons were imported into Great Britain, an increase of over 34 per cent. The homo consumption of butter in Russia is expanding enormously, and now absorbs about 52 per cent, of the total make. Germany takes most of the export surplus not

shipped to Great Britain. With the object of improving its quality the Soviets have Instituted a special organisation for the inspection and grading of all the butter exported. It is said of Russian butter that its flavour, texture, and Colour are now comparable with those of competitive countries. and in consequence the butter is becoming more and more,attractive to buyers at a higher level of prices than previously, ' There are now 2369 dairies operating in the (various districts of Siberia. —— X: WORKMEN AS EMPLOYERS A very interesting economic development is taking place in Norway which, if successful", is likely to have important and far-reaching effects on the labour situation as a whole. During the past few months a number of Industrial plants and timber mills, which had been forced out of business on account of high production costs, have been taken over by the trade unions concerned, reports an Oslo correspondent. The arrangement made with respect to one timber mill was that the workmen found 20,000 kroner, and the remainder of the money required was partly guaranteed by tho municipal authorities and partly by the National Association of Trade Unions, which supplied a credit of 100,009 kroner. It is agreed that during the Initial period the men are to receive wages, which are 20 per cent, below the trade union minimum, so as to place the mill on a competitive basis and to enable it to consolidate its financial position. Another concern will employ about seventy men, and these will receive no wages until cash has been received on account of orders—that is, about thirty days after delivery. With respect to another concern the municipal authorities have been asked if they will guarantee 142,000 kroner, which will be repaid by the men, who are to surrender 25 per cent, of their waves every week until the guarantee has been fully-covered. The men will also pay up part of the capital required in cash. ' . • ■ In each of the cases it will be seen that production costs are reduced by “attacking wages.” This fact is taken as supplying proof that the trade unions are beginning to realise that their present high-wage policy has done incalculable damage to Norwegian trade and industry. Up to the present the workers have always fought against wage reductions, no matter how badly the industry concerned was situated; in the present instances wages are being voluntarily reduced by substantial amounts, in order to place the firms concerned, on n sound financial basis. At the same time the firms are obtaining capital on far more reasonable terms than are ordinarily obtained. Mutual sacrifices have been made, as it is very generally realised that nothing could be better than to give the men a chance to see how diflicult it really is to run a business at a profit and pay high wages under present conditions.
