HIT ALL ROUND

Much commiseration with and sympathy for the pastoral-ist have been felt-'all over N>Vw Zealand. So unit ' SO that there is a general impression abroad that it is only the wool grower who hats been hard hit by the decline in prices during the past lew months. As a matter of hard fact there has be.sn an all round hard liicting of Sew Zealand’s producers. Wool has certainly fallen, by about 50 per cent., which means that, the buyijrs this jjear have been getting half price IM.rgains compared with what they had to pay last season, hook at the drop in other exports: Butter by 25 per cent., tallow from 25 to 30 per cent, and sheepskins hy os mucli -as 50 per cent. There can be only one main reason for such all round redactions as these--the masses of Great Britain have not had the money to buy our butte*' and cheese, clothes made from our wool, footwear from our 'hides and other commodities in which our follow and sheepskins are. utilised. The bnsMr Britain gets the better will be the prices paid for our products and produce. Herd's hoping for .a. great recovery in Britain’s trade, commerce. and industry.
