KAURI GUM INDUSTRY.
THE YEAR'S RECORD,
(Per Dnitkd Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, January 4.
The past year has been a comparatively quiet one in the knuri gum trade, and the annual returns compiled by Mr H. Edmonds ehow that there has been a slight falling off in the production with the exports. A satisfactory point about the year's operations, however, has been the fact that practically the whole of the shipments have gone on oure;', ana tho amount sent to 1/ondon for a speculative market was almost nil. One of the factors in the quietness of the demand for gum lies been the high price ruling for turpentine and other oils used in conjunction with the gum in the manufactures for which it is employed. An interesting feature of the return is the diminution of the amount of gum taken by America, tho difference being nearly 1500 tone against the 12 months that have just closed. . This may be partly ascribed to tho increased use they are making in America of substitutes which come from' other countries. During 1910 the amount predneed was 8079 tons, and the amount Exported 7989 (tone. During 1909 tho amount produced was 8130 tons, and tho amount exported was 8659 tons.
