KAURI VERSUS RIMU.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]
Wellington', Wednesday. Prom all I can hear, the operations of the Kauri Timber Company and their monopoly of the kauri forests are likely to be of great benefit to the (Southern portions of the colony, and also t-o parts of the North, in bringing into the market and into prominence rimu, and matai more especially. A large millowner was in Wellington today, and he has received large orders for rimu, both locally and from Australia. It is said it is likely to be a formidable rival to kauri, if it gets a foothold there, for various manufacturing and domestic purposes. An authority on timber matters informs me that in the North and South there is a larger quantity of rimu and matai than of kauri, and.that the monopoly of the latter will stimulate trade greatly in the other classes of timber.
