LEAD AND ZINC * MARKETING IN BRITAIN. Attempts to formulate a plan for the marketing of lead and zinc have been made for some months. At the Ottawa Conference producers of lead and zinc 4greed that if a duty of 10 per cent, was placed ou foreign metals they would Undertake to sell in Great Britain at the world price, says the Melbourne ArguSi The world price, was taken in practice to imply the price at which transactions were made on the London Metal Exchange, Business* at the London Metal Exchange, however, fell away, because of direct selling agreement between dominion producers and users in Great Britain. The result was that small quantities of foreign metals sold on the Metal Exchange established the price of dominion metals, and, producers naturally felt that they were being compelled to accept a fictitious price. ... The Chancellor Of the Exchequer, Mr Neville Chamberlain, said in debate recently that it was hoped to find a solution of the difficulty oa the basis o"f a duty of less than. 10 per cent. If producers are prepared to give away the protection that they have been afforded, it seems evident that they have been successful in bargaining with users for some compensating concession. LONDON PRODUCE MARKET The Bank of New Zealand has received the following advice from its London office under date July 19:— Frozen Meat.—For wethers the demand is improving.

Oats.—The oat market continues firm with very few lines being offered by farmers, and it is now considered that the bulk of last season's crop has been disposed, of. Stocks in store are very light for this time of the year, and when the seed and retail demand is satisfied there will be very little left for shipment. Values to farmers are up to 3s on trucks for A grade and 2s 10d for B grade. Wheat. —There is practically no business passing in wheat, as apparently last season's crop has all been cleared up, and there is likely to be a shortage of fowl wheat before the hew season's crop is available. Any lines of milling quality on offer are readily accepted at the fixed prices by the local mills.
Ryegrass.—This market still remains on the miiet side, with only occasional inquiries coming through. Sales have been reported to the North Island during the week at 4s r>er bushel, f.o.b. BltifT, for 291 b seed, but the demand is apparently very limited. Stocks in store are not heavy, and it is expected with the near approach of spring that \ more inquiries will be received. Potatoes.—The market has registered a sharp rise during the week, and considerable auantitieß have been sold for shipment during the month. There are not many potatoes offering from farmers, but f.a.q. Whites are readily saleable, at £6 to £6 5s o.t.cs.. according to the distance of railage.

Exchange remained unaltered. Next week's sale is expected to total 1,700,0001 b. The report on the Calcutta sale, dated the previous day, shows that the quantity offered at the auction came to a total of 1,300,0001 b. Dooars quality showed a falling off and second flush Assams were available. The result of the sale showed that the market was fully firm to clearer. MERCHANDISE MARKET The next sugar v boat, the Waimarino. is due on July 24. The Waitaki, which arrived from Melbourne last Tuesday, brought further supplies of Australian dried fruits, including lexias. The James Cook, from South Australia, will land a supply of One Crown sultanas. These have been short on the market. Advice from Singapore states that the sago and tapioca market continues firm.

Portuguese sardines in oil. and Bursoyne's milk of magnesia. Chinese walnut meat is in short compass in merchants' hands. Indications Point to the shortage being in evidence for some time.

Westward Ho and Woodbine cigarettes were reduced in price, wholesale and retail, during the week. DUNLOP RUBBER COMPANY
NO DIVIDENDS FROM GERMANY. How the international situation affects British companies with interests in foreign countries was illustrated by the chairman (Sir Erie Geddes) of the Dunlop Rubber Company, Ltd., at the recent annual meeting in London. In Germany, he said, the position was abnormal. That country had become a closed market to competitive imports, and the Government had pushed ahead energetically with the "motorisation of the country." The result had been a heavy demand for the products of the German Dunlop Company. Profits earned in Germany last year were substantial, but owing to the rigid exchange restrictions it was impossible to remit dividends from Germany. Therefore, for the time being, the company could not receive any return from its investments there.
Sir Erie Geddes added that despite this handicap the net profit for the year of the Dunlop Rubber Company, Ltd., amounted to £1.087,687. representing an increase of £174.821 on that of the previous vear. Taxation, however, had increased from £404,000 to £550,000, eo that nearly the whole of the increase in the net profits had been absorbed by taxation

The return of the Worksop dredge was 560 z for 123 hours over 9000 yards. MAHAKIPAWA REPORT The report for the week ended July 17 states: — , , The arch drive from the south end of No. 2 blocking strip ae mentioned last week, was swung round in an easterly direction, and after proceeding forg 18 feet, hit a very pronounced smooth waterworn wall. This is what we had been looking for, and we know now the location of both walls and the present direction of the gutter. This gutter, which is heading slightly east of south, is now going further away from the old workings all the time, and was missed by the old miners, as where it jurictioned with the old drives it was only 10 feet wide, and was three feet up from the floor of their drive. The complete absence of gold for the last 50 feet is explained by the fact that in this section- the bottom is hard and smooth, and is on a grade of one in five. As the difference in vertical height between the Golden Gate and Craig's shaft is about 44 feet, which is equal to a grade of one in 14, it is evident that the steep grade we are now on cannot continue, but must flatten of?. When this occurs,* and the bottom gets softer, we can again expect gold. After hitting the wall mentioned above, we returned to the end of the blocking strip where we had first jumped up three feet and started to shoot up the bottom and grade the line so that we could get the trucks right up to the Pace, and save the double handling of the wash. This should be completed by tomorrow . „ , ~ The blocking strip along the east side of north blocking strip was continued for another eight feet when we connected up with old workings. A prospecting drive was started 14 feet north of the Golden Gate shaft, and has been driven east for 20 feet in poor-grade wash. Jhe bottom was three feet 'below the floor where we started, but has now risen level with the floor. DOLLAR AND FRANC
