Government Statistician shows that, owing to the abnormally high unemployment levy, New Zealand’s taxation per head attained the record total of £l2/1.7/11, It calls attention to what is described as a remarkable movement in the related indexes, land transfers, mortgages and building permits during May. . In each case, the improvement over April is substantial, while in some cases the rise is extraordinarily high, land transfers showing an increase of 19 per cent, over April’s abnormally low point. Mortgages registered increased by 65.fi per cent, and mortgages discharged by 65.3 per cent. These transactions are approaching the position existing a year ago. Imports rose 15.5 per- cent, in the month and were slightly higher than in May, 1932. The upward tendency in the market price of ordinary shares continued, showing an improvement of 2.8 per cent, on the month, and 19.1 per cent, above the lowest level in April, 1932, though still 21.5 per cent, below the average 1926 quotations.
