THE SULPHUR TRADE
RUINED BY THE TOURIST TRAFFIC. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, June 7. (Received June' 7, at 9.50 a.m.) When giving evidence before the Tariff Commission, a member of a leading firm of manufacturing chemists explained that he obtained his sulphur from Japan. He tried for some years to obtain the article from New Zealand, but as the tourist traffic went on increasing the Maoris worked less and depended more upon tourists, the result being that the price of sulphur there went up so high that he had to abandon the trade and import from elsewhere.
