During the last financial year 2340 motor-caT's and 2665 motor-cycles were imported into New Zealand, the total value, including parts and materials, being £777,278. Of the cars, 982 came from the ' United States of America, 697 from the United Kingdom, arid 532 from Canada. The Mother Country got a better share of the motor-cycle trade, 2523 cycles being of British make, and only 120 f?-om the United States. Only onefourth, of the total value was subject to duty, and the duty paid amounted to £37,916. There is apparently still a good demand for the ordinary bicycle, as the year's imports number 10.510 machines, of a total valHie, inelndina: parts and materials, of £175,971.
