ORDERS FOR STEEL CONTRACTS CONSIDERED END-OF-YEAR DELIVERIES Quiet conditions have ruled in the iron and steel markets, but In a number of cases negotiations have been opened regarding contracts for delivery in the latter part of the year, says the official report of tho London Iron and Steel Exchange, issued last month. The recent advance in steel prices does not seem to have had any effect upon the volume of business offering, but most of the makers are so well provided with work. in all departments that they are unable to accept new orders except for execution at distant dates. In the pig iron department the situation is dominated by the difficulty of obtaining supplies. In some districts more basic iron appears to be available, but the demand for hematite (iron ore) is well in excess of the supplies. Uncertainty still exists with regard to the prices of English foundry iron, which was not included in the recent movement, although quotations in Scotland were increased by 25s a ton. An' announcement of an advance in English districts, however, is expected shortly. _ ' ' ■ Consumers of semi-finished steel are experiencing stringent market conditions. The British output of this material is being pressed to the utmost, and there has been some improvement in supplies from the Continent. There are heavy arrears in deliveries, however, to be made up. In the finished steel department pressure to obtain material is unrelaxed. OPEN-DOOR POLICY FREEZING INDUSTRY Reorganisation of the share capital of the North Canterbury Sheep Farmers’ Co-operative Freezing Export and Agency Company Ltd., id which authorised capital will he reduced, 10s a share repaid iu cash to shareholders and 40s paid in shares in the reorganised company is planned. The proposals are the result of negotiations with Mr Arthur Sims, and will make possible the reorganisation of the company on the following basis;Policy and management of the company to remain unaltered. Authorised capital to be reduced from £200,000 to-£IOO,OOO. Proposals are based on a valuation of 50s for present shares, of which 10s will be repaid 'in cash to shareholders and 40s paid in shares in the reorganised company. . Subscribed capital at present stands at £141,425, of which uncalled liability of £56,570 will be cancelled; the writing down of capital equivalent to 10s per share to provide a renewals and repairs reserve for works and plant will account for £14,142 10s, and cash refund to shareholders of 10s per share will take £14,142 10s. Thus will be left paid-up capital of £56,570 in 28,285 fully-paid shares of £2 -each. These will he converted (on the basis of two for each one now held) into 66,570 fully-paid £1 redeemable cumulative' preference shares. Of present unissued shares (11,715), 3,029‘ will be cancelled, and the remaining 8686 will be divided into 43,430 ordinary shares of £1 each. Mr Arthur Sims undertakes to subscribe or to find subscribers for the 43,430 ordinary £1 shares, half of them to be paid up in full immediately and the capital of the balance of such shares may be called up by the directors as required. The preference shares will be redeemable on or after October 1, 1941; they carry a fixed dividend of £5 10s per cent, per annum. Subject to the above scheme being confirmed, the Ocean Beach Freezing Company Limited and Sir Arthur Sims have entered into a contract satisfactory to the directors by which that company will take over the stock purchased by the company for a period of seven years from October 1. 1933. The directors explain that the effect of tho reorganisation will ensure the continuance of the open-door policy and utmost facilities for producers shipping on their own account; shareholders will be relieved of their liability for calls on their holdings, and will he assured of reasonable regular dividends.
REVIEW OF DAIRY SEASON THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ADDRESS BY MINISTER In opening the National Dairy Association Conference at Hamilton today, tin; Hon. W. Lee Martin. Minister of Agriculture, announced that although the season does not conclude till July HI, ho could indicate its outstanding features, “The season has been one of the wettest on record,” he said, “ and, although the volume of production has been more than maintained, the moist nature of the pastures has made the maintenance of quality a difficult problem for the manufacturers. • At the beginuing of the autumn there was a turn for the .better, and the comparatively mild weather gave an impetus to production. The result. has been that, while the statistics relating to the dairy industry at the end of March last were not, perhaps, as favourable as anticipated, it is expected that autumn figures will be unusually high. During the year elided March'3l last, 151,430 tons qf creamery, butter, and 89,960 tons of butter had come forward for grading, compared with 145,990 tons of butter and 86,250 tons of cheese for the previous year—an increase of 5,446 tons of butter (or 3.73 per cent.) and 3,710 tons of cheese (or 4.31 per cent.). On a butter-fat basis the increase was 5,968 tons, or 3.85 per cent. I think you will agree with me that in the circumstances the figures are most satisfactory. *’ ‘‘ Owing to the phenomenally heavy rainfall, districts such as North Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, Nelson, Marlborough, and Canterbury, which usually suffer from a lack of rain in the summer months, have been ideal for dairying, but in Westland and Otago and Southland conditions have been unfavourable and..extremely trying for the farmer. It is, perhaps, worthy of note that the Auckland province has, in the year ended March 31 last, on. a butter-fat basis, contributed 58 percent. of the total'exports. Ten years ago Auckland’s percentage of the total exports was 47.5 per cent. May I congratulate the fanners of the Auckland province on their achievement? ■
“ The reports of the department’s officers in the United Kingdom indicate that our butter and cheese'have been well received on that market, and have maintained their high reputation for quality. Our butter ' has made_ inroads on to some, of the markets in tho North of England, where the Danish product has its strongest appeal. There • have been -no- major faults in the. quality of our' butter, but openness and mould have marred some of our cheese. The question of openness is still an unsolved problem, but I am glad to say that in this respect there has-been an-improvement, and there is no indication that the mould position.is more, serious-. FUTURE OF GOLD KEEPING LOW INTEREST RATES AK ECONOMIST'S OPINION In view of the serious disturbance to investment markets recently because of fear that a reduction might he made in the price of gold, comment. made last month by Sir Henry Strakosch, in a letter to ‘ The Times,’ is of great interest. Sir - Henry;' it is, announced, has resigned from theFinancial and Raw Materials Committee of the League of Nations, as South Africa does not desire to continue her membership. In the last six years, Sir Henry said, revaluation upward of gold in terms of currency—or in other words, the devaluation of currencies, in the terms of gold—had’proved tho only means of redressing, the. ills which, had arisen, from the tremendous increase in the Surchasing power of money, as re-ect-ed in the catastrophic-fall-of commodity prices. The effects of this upward .revaluatipn of gold wore -immediate and striking. As each country increased the pric<j of gold iq terms of its currency, and so, first prevented a further fall in commodity prices, and later induced a rise, confidence -within that country was restored, and tho comer was turned. The most-impres-sive example was the ‘steady economic progress of the sterling area since the United Kingdom abandoned the old gold parity and allowed the sterling price of gold to rise sharply. , The United States probably saved itself from what might have been economic chaos for a long- period by a similar process. Sir Henry’ said that ‘ revaluation of gold downward would at once upset the equilibrium so laboriously built up in recent years; for it would involve a drastic deflation with all that that implied—a sudden fall in the level of prices, a corresponding increase in the burden of debt, a consequent impairment of credit, a severe reduction in the profit margin on production, and consequent general loss of confidence—in fact, all the elements which had precipitated the 1929 crisis. To maintain' the desired level of commodity prices and ‘interest rates reasonably low, he said, credit must be kept easy, and that was possible only if there wore the necessary quantity of gold available upon which to build up the credit structure. The increase in the world’s stock of ■ monetary gold ’ as- valued in terms of domestic currencies, and tho accelerated rate of production of gold, were facts that should he welcomed. Together they ■were probably no more than was necessary to support a, suitable price level, and an adequate rate of economic progress in the years to come. It was difficult to imagine a more foolish proposition than 'to reverse the process which had saved a- great part of the world from economic, social, and political chaos.
