A packing case that claims the merit of being .unpillageable has been, invented by Mx Isaac Davis, of the Benom Co., \Vest Australia. The case, when closed, has no visible fastenings, save a recessed padlock. In fclace of the usual battens there are, inside the case, strips ot strong metal, to which the planks are secured from the inside. The sides are \ held to the bottom by simple metal fastenings inside the case, and the lid -i& h*.'ld° in place bv a similar arrangement . and the padlock. To open the case by " prising off a plank on a side, or in any 1 way except by removing the padlock appears to be quite impossible. Compared with a packing case of the ordinary type, the Davis case is slightly heavier, but na~ a greater cubici capacity conipared with the outside measurement. It will cost, it is stated, 25 per cent more. It is claimed for it that it cannot be telescoped, and. as it can be used time after time, that the extra initial cost is more than counterbalanced. The inside fastenings being flush with the wood, the case can be zinc lined m the ordinary way. ■ " The current issue of the "Trade Review" remarks: "The supply of money is still restricted, and the tone of; the market remains very firm. The building companies recently raised their deposit rates by A per cent, to endeavour to attract more deposits. However, money will not become plentiful until the imports and exports are brought to a more healthy relationship. . . The balance of exports in the latest two years falls very far short of what is needed to meet- our outside obligations, and until this is- rectified money must remain in limited supply. The growth in our imports is abnormal, and suggests either general extravagance, or else that- importations are in excess of requirements. This is a matter which calls for very careful watching on the part of the, importers. Prospects continue very good for the export season, and there is every indication that when, the season closes we sha 1 see a very good total for our exports, although there are one or two factors working against this—tlio output of gold shows a big reduction, prices of butter are a little disappointing, and the slaughtermen's strike is disturbing the meat trade."
