AUSTRALIAN WOOL SHIPMENTS FOR SEASON. Shipments of wool from Australia during the period July 1, 1932, to April 30. 1933, totalled 2,729,796 bales, the figures showing an increase of 225,846 bales compared with the similar period of the preceding season. The following, details show the exports made to the principal destinations during the past two years:—
The shipments to Japan show a further increase of XB,/748 bales on the high totals recorded in the preceding year. The United Kingdom figures show a shrinkage of 36,453 bales. The exports to Germany display a notable advance of 95,808 bales. Belgian figures exhibit an increase of 73,567 bales, and the French total an increase of 48,261 bales. As denoted by the exports made, the United States proved a very limited buyer at this season’s Australian auctions.
COMPANY BALANCE SHEETS
WILSONS (N.Z.) PORTLAND CEMENT, LTD.
Slackness' in orders, resultihß in a .temporary closure of the works,- has had its inevitable effect upon the profit for the past year. To find a net return as low it is necessary to go back to the early years of the company’s existence, but the distribution recommended for shareholders is not affected, and remains the same as that for 1931-32. A demand upon reserves to furnish £20,000 to complete the dividend is involved in consequence. lee proportions of the net surpluses allotted to shareholders and the business have been as follows: —
• Minus. Although during the past year or two, reserves have had no specific transfer made to them out of profits, their tendency was upward, but the present demand by the dividend will reduce them to £158,34u. Reserve account remains at £IIO,OOO, nut it has been the practice to carry forward a large unallocated surplus balance which had reached the sum of £68,346. Alter the latter has furnished the needful funds, it will still represent a substantial amount. The company’s chief reserve, however, appears to have been formed by the heavy writing down annually of the fixed assets which has enabled assets to be formed of a revenueearning and easily-realisable nature. During the past financial year the policy of writing down the fixed assets has continued. At £213,389, they are less by nearly £25,000—a difference which, if entirely due to writing down, would make a considerable demand upon the gross surplus, and by-itself more than make up the deficiency required to meet the dividend. Eventually the dividend recommendation may thus turn out to be a transfer of reserves. The fixed assets group comprises items of a nature, each with, its own characteristics and special rate of depreciation, so that the matter of working out the annual wastage allowance must present many complications. While the different properties are named, no indication is given of their respective book values. A comparison of the fixed group with the total assets comes out as follows: —
Fixed Total Ratio to TotsL Mar. 31. Assets. Assets. Fixed. Liquid.
Although the diminishing process has eased during recent seasons, the_ position of the property in the assets is exceptionally favourable for a manufacturing concern. . Investments, at. £476,459, have now reached a point from which the interests of the company appear to be mainly concerned in stocks and shares. The revenue produced in this manner would seem to have produced the greater part of the net profit. From the method .suggested for the proposed reduction of capital, New Zealand Government securities seems to be the predominating investment. How far shares in other companies contribute towards the total does not appear, but if the controlling interest in one or more subsidiary companies is held, such holdings'will differ from those which the company owns as an ordinary shareholder. A strong indication is given of the declining turnover by the drop in stock to £9236, or approximately one-fifth of its figure at March, 1932, while sundry debtors at £30,747 also continue to decrease, but in a smaller degree. The one liability to outsiders is the creditors’ group, which has fallen in sympathy with other, trading items to £16,963. or by nearly one-half. Income tax provision is included, and possibly represents the largest unit. As usual, the profit and loss account is silent on the matter of sums disbursed, so that it merely shows the net trading surplus with transfer fees (£43) added. The knowledge of the relation of expenditure to revenue or to expenditure in previous: years is not imparted to shareholders, and while that information may not have been sought in prosperous years, it has become a matter of greater interest now, when the company's activities have become so restricted that it has been deemed advisable to recommend the reduction of the paid-up capital by onehalf. TRADE OF, VICTORIA Exports from Victoria for the first 10 months of the current fiscal year were £26,909,603, an increase of £4,046,880 on the corresponding period of last year. Exports of merchandise totalled £23,948,681, a rise of £2,644,562, and exports of bullion and specie £2,960,922, a rise of £1,402,318. In English currency values, imports for the 10 months were £18,317,631, compared with £13,127,455 for the same period of the previous year. Bullion and specie rose by £79.545 to £285,753, while merchandise imported was £5,110,631 higher at £18,031.878, After converting the recorded values of exports to English currency, there was an estimated favourable balance of £3,124,000 for the 10 months In exports, major gains were recorded in wool, butter, frozen mutton, and lamb, flour, and milk and cream. Decreases occurred in wheat and soap. In imports decreases were few, and generally o' minor importance. Large gains were shown by textiles other than apparel, yarns, petroleum spirit, arms and ammunition, machines, and machinery, and chassis for motor cars. AMERICAN RUBBER INDUSTRY
The United States consumes approximately 60 per cent, of the world’s crude rubber output, and of this quantity neatly 80 per cent, goes into the manufacture of automobile tyres and tubes. According to Dunn and Bradstreeb, New York, heavy stocks handicap the rubber industry. Reviewing the American position they state: «While the absorption of rubber was expanding at an average rate of over 11 per cent, per annum between 1920 and 1929, when world consumption reached 790,000 long tons, by 1932 it had fallen under 660,000 tons. In the United States, consumption fell from 470,000 tons in 1929 to 313,122 tons in 1932. This total was a drop of 10.3 per cent, from the, consumption figures from the record total of 1929.’ The 1932 consumption was the smallest , for any year since 1923. The December, 1932. consumption by manufacturers in the United States of 16,990 tone was the smallest for any month since February, 1922. As the output of rubber oh the 6,000,000 acres of tappable trees in the Orient in 1932 amounted to approximately 715.000 lons, stocks of crude rubber on hand and afloat showed an almost uninterrupted monthly increase last year. By the end of January of the current year, these stocks reached a record high of 428,915 tons, while consumption tell to 21,661 tons, the lowest record set down for any January in the last decade. Output of automobiles declined about 40 per cent, last year from the 1931 volume, and the tyre manufacturing industry suffered in proportion: for production of automobile casings in 1932 totalled only 40 093,000, as compared with 48.739.000 in’l93l, and 77,944.000 in 1928, the peak year for the industry. Aa more tyre miles were worn out last year than were replaced. trade estimates put the replacement needs alone for 1933 at 60,000,000 tyres, if the automobiles now on the highways are to be provided with the proper safety and comfort necessary to motor car owners. The buyer this year obtains for his dollar more than 30 times the quantity of rubber than he could have bought with the same dollar in 1926. The price then was slightly above a dollar a pound, as compared with 3J cents a pound at the close of 1932.
ABERDEEN-COMMONWEALTH LINE
Particulars , have been filed at Somerset House of the Aberdeen and Commonwealth Line, the new; company w'hieh has been formed to acquire the six vessels of the Aberdeen and Commonwealth Line which were originally sold by the Australian Government to the White Star Line in 1928. The nominal capital of the company is £500,000, in £1 shares. The objects of the company are stated as follows: —To acquire and hold steam, motor or other ships or vessels and aircraft: to acquire and maintain passenger and cargo lines or regular services of ships and vessels and aircraft, and to carry on the business of shipowners, builders, and brokers, loading brokers, and brokers for the sale of ships, aircraft, or other property, etc. The first directors (to number not less than four nor more than eight) are to be appointed by the subscribers. The registered office is at New Zealand Chambers, 34 Leadeuhall street, London. Lord Essendon, chairman of Messrs Furnessj Withy, and Co., Ltd., has been appointed chairman of the new Aberdeen and Commonwealth Line. His fellowmembers on the board are Mr J. Macmillan (managing director l of Shaw, Savill and Albion Company, Ltd.), Mr W. C. Warwick (director, Furness, Withy, and Co., Ltd.), Mr C. J. Cowan (chairman, Federal Steam Navigation Company), Mr I. C. Geddes (director. Orient Steam Navigation Company), and Mr H. B. G. Larkin (assistant manager P. and O. Steam Navigation Company, Ltd.). • A STERLING AREA NEW ZEALAND EXCHANGE. • Monetary reconstruction schemes of various countries are dealt with by Professor Gustav Cassel in the report for April, 1933, of the Swedish Statistical Department. Professor Cassel, who makes passing reference to the exchange position in New Zealand, says that instead of concentrating efforts on the judicious regulation of the internal purchasing power of the currency attention has been focussed on the foreign quotations of the currency. “ This tendency,” he continues, “ has been accompanied by a very illadvised desire to lower these quotations in order to gain commercial advantages. In England it was supposed that the pound sterling on the restoration of the gold standard in 1925 was quoted at rates of exchange higher than those which corresponded to the internal purchasing power of the currency, and that this had an adverse effect on the balance of trade. France, on the other hand, when in, 1928 she reverted to a gold standard at a new parity, fixed that parity so low that her exports were favoured, at any rate for a time, whilst her imports were handicapped. This experience has evidently been taken as a basis for well-nigh universal endeavours to- keep down the international value of the currencies. “ Since England in September, 1931, was forced to abandon the gold standard, British monetary policy has deliberately aimed at a low international valuation of the pound. The Exchange Equalisation Fund, which was created in the spring of 1932, has in fact been directly utilised in order to prevent such a rise in the dollar rate of exchange for the pound as might be considered detrimental to'the British balance of trade. Similar endeavours have subsequently been made in other countries. When Australia, after great difficulties, had managed to stabilise the exchange value of the Australian pound in London at £1.25 to £l, New Zealand considered herself handicapped, and resolved to raise her .London rate of exchange to the same level.” It was not long before another competitor, Denmark, followed this example. Such competition in exchange values is described as quite incompatible .with equilibrium in the international monetary system. It is considered by the professor that a matter of paramount interest at present is first to get the purchasing power of money reduced, and thus raise the level of commodity nrices. There is, however, he points out, little prospect of a general agreement amongst countries to raise prices. If England would take the lead in the part, of the world where the gold standard has been abandoned and raise prices the policy would, he contends, immediately win wide adherence, and it would be quite possible to create, the “ sterling area ” withinl which stable money could afterwards be maintained.
