N.Z. MARKET
Warning To Manufacturers
In Britain
London, December 15.
A warning to British manufacturers that it was often necessary to depart from designs current in the United Kingdom in order to meet the needs of the New Zealand market is contained in a report on economic and commercial conditions in New Zealand published by the Department of Overseas Trade.
The report urges manufacturers to make a special effort to supply industrial machinery, and says it is doubtful whether openings for it in New Zealand have been as assiduously cultivated as the markets for such standardised articles as textiles, china, etc. The report also cites figures showing Japanese gains at the expense of Britain in respect of cotton, linen, and canvas goods, and says that as far as price is concerned the British manufacturers appear to be quite unable to compete with Japan.
