BUSINESS MEN ANXIOUS
DUNEDIN PROPOSITION
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "Tho Evening Post.') DUNEDIN, This Day. The tlioft of mail bags on the steamer Wahine, and other similar instances, has caused a certain amount of consternation in tho minds of business men, who frequently send valuablo documents from city to city by means of rogistored post. Those documents would bo of no valuo to a thief, being non-negoti-ablo, but should they be destroyed it might mean tho loss of hundreds of pouuds to tho sondor. This side of the question applies particularly to sharebrokers, and tho mattor was considered by tho members of the Dunedin Stock Exchange, when a very serious view was taken of it. It was thought that the Stock Exchange, Associated Banks, and'tho Chamber of Commerce should combine to bring prossuro to bear on tho authorities to sco that better euro is taken that mails are not subject to interference.
