Tuesday evening. ■ The trade of the Auckland province conis tinties: to expand, and that of the colony ■ generally-' is steadily increasing. The re- . turns for the past quarter fully bear this out. la agricultural and dairy products a very \ 'large, increase in: our exports is- revealed. f For the period of three "months ending /June ■ 30 the exports. from the colony totalled > £1,816,083, showing the, substantial increase * of £527,537 over the corresponding period of » 1305. This fact speaks for itself, and is the. ' primary factor in the prosperous condition J of the colony at the present time. "The iii- ; creases ; have taken place principally in ! frozen lamb and mutton,*; butter, and cheese, I As time goes on greater facilities are [ being offered, and .increasing outlets are ' opened up for our exports, and where. 10 " years ago wo were limited in choice of markets, to-day \vc have a service with South ' Africa, Canada, and also a more frequent service, at lower freight- rates, to, Europe. / : Latest cables from Home indicate a weakening in the wool market, but as most of the New Zealand clip has now been dealt with this decline in values will not seriously. affect this colony this year. There arc. however, a number of consignments to be putup at .to-day's sales in London, but this ! quantity is relatively small. Farmers and v.-oolbuyers throughout the colony recognisethe prices are, and have been for/ some time, at abnormally high levels. The return to the colony for this product alone has been , very great, and here again another fact is , found that largely accounts for our prosperi ous condition at the' present- time. It is to I be sincerely hoped that the decline in values, I which 'teems inevitable, will come by easy ' stages. Any serious substantial decline will j seriously affect our returns in the future. The fiaxmilling industry throughout the i colony is very brisk. Tho export in this ar- ) tide continues to show a steady increase each month. During- the month of' May | the total export from the colony was 3655 ; tons, valued at £95,000. Of this Auckland's ; share was 1193 tons, valued at £30,000. Last I month the export showed a decline of £57,539. This is accounted for by the fact ! that- throughout the winter months millers could not dry the fibre, and in consequence the supply from the mills is very limited. Should the Home price hold, as every indication promises it will, the millers will considerably extend their operations • next season, and this- industry promises to develop into on© of very; large proportions. The latest: London cables report that the New Zealand hemp is now commanding the same price en tho London market as the American product (sisal). .In imports trade, too, continues brisk. i Several large cargo steamers have arrived , from New York since our last report, and . the '.Home vessels continue to bring very 1 heavy general cargoes. The Wakanui is now discharging large shipments of railway iron ' and rails, and the Marere has just arrived in port, with a very large general cargo from London and the Continent. Owing to the. continued wet weather prevailing for several weeks past farming operations have been practically suspended. As soon as the weather iakes up farmers will bo busy with ploughing, preparing the grfeund for seed oats, seed wheat, etc. Owing to. the ravages of the rust our seed oats have all to be imported from Victoria, the variety principally sown being the Algerian, as this is found to withstand rust bettor than the white varieties. In. potatoes; too, the colony has been very unfortunate. The Irish blight still prevails on, nil sides,'and the crop is practically a failure, necessitating heavy and regular importations of table potatoes from* Tasmania arid Victoria, where crops are free from blight. Last year the colony imported potatoes in very large quantities from California, and after the end of August our supplies will probably again be drawn from that quarter. The timber trade continues, busy, the mills not being able to cope wi£h orders coming to hand. Steady orders are still reaching the millers from London for kauri and kahikatea. The Waiwera, which sailed for. London" last week, took a shipment of timber for that market, and further orders ! are in hand for following steamers. The export trade to Australia from the Kaipava and Mercury Bay keeps up well, and altogether the timber industry is a very large ] source of revenue to the province. Locally the building- .trade .continues busy, several , large buildings have just teen completed in the city, and others are. in.course of. erection. '<■■ -'?" ' ' ————————— STOCK AND SHAREMARKET. .

Since our last report—made four weeks ago—gum has continued to arrive in very moderate quantities; the supply for the four . weeks has totalled about 640 tons. The production for the first six months of. the present year has been 4560 tons, as against 4855 tons last, year and 5555 tons in 1904. The scarcity of really good gum is as marked a feature of the supply as ever it was. Demand has been good, and prices have had somewhat of an upward tendency, but there has been no very distinct rise in any special quality. Good qualities of both dark and pale .gum-are scarce and wanted, and all arriving fetches/ good figures. The poorer kinds are in fail demand, but there is not ~niuoh pushing for.them at, present.
