BUSIER ENGLAND
Conditions Improving Surprise at seeing things so brisk and busy in England was expressed by Mr. E. A. Christie, a Wellington busi-. ness man, who returned from a five months’ trip abroad by the Rangitata yesterday. “I was surprised to see things as they were in England,” he said. “In fact, as one went about London, and visited the great industrial shows; and fhe great racecourses, it was really difficult to believe that there was any depression at all.” Mr. Christie,- who is more specially interested in the hardware, trade, said that all factories that he visited teemed to be very busy. He had noticed that there was a tendency on the part-of most firms to install the most up-to-date labour-saving machinery. These were in the main operated by girls, with the - result that men were being displaced.
