Messrs A. H. Turnbull are in re- 1 iept of a cable from their Principals t Sol lessvs W. Weddel and.,. "Co.

The transfer will taice J " effect after the Christmas school vaca-f tion. . * With a start ion early lambs in the I North Island, operators are not' &is- 1 posed to take a particularly optimis-J tia view of the future of the market, j A glut of Argentine 7 meat and anl ample supply of Australian lamb, J with " a pretty good cany over of last 1 year's New Zealand lamb, is affording. I * the Home buyer plenty of opportunity: of filling his requirements on* a pretty I ' low level of prices. Favourable ex- 1" change has greatly helped the Aus- 1 tralian producer this season and hatfr evened up the net price he has. re-J'J ceived very materially.' The New! Zealand producer is handicapped as I against hfs Australian competitor on' l this item by about 15 per cent, or, j say 1/6 on a 10/- lamb. It is evident, producers have got to think and act I oh a pre-war level of prices and per- J haps allow a discount off that. Increased productipn, decreased costs j and intensified .ettort in wbrk are go- 1 ing to be inevitably required to help us over the style of depression^ and put us on the level road of prosperity. "Recently I met a man in Auckland who complained to me that he could not get' a type of salesman that hi really required," remarked Mr Jl. H. Rushworth, M.8., when speaking at' » Wanganui- "On inquiring what class of a man he wanted, I received the reply : 'One who can sell a mouth or r ' gan to a man with ho arms, who hates music, and who lives -in Dunedlri'." f _ , Professor (John Collie came from n Dunedin last week and took both ser 2_ vices at the North Invercargill Presbyterian Church (the Professor's former lt charge). The^Rev. Mr Tanner underi lt went an operation some \veek.s ago, and is now recovering, but is not yet g £ able to take up active church workv , h There was a fine attendance at both lt services^ and Professor Collie received a cordial welcome from his old 3t parishioners, and was 1 delighted to be lj again among his many old friends. — "Southern Cross." *e \ - "New Zealand is a garden" iairly expresses the appearance of the Dominion at the present time. It is very rarely the whole of the country presents a luxuriance pf growth. Invariably some province or area is experiencing conditions that are not ■ normal. Too dry a period in one proe s vince,, or too much heavy rain in an/6 other, usually prevents complete har/6 monious conditions for a perfect fija/6 son. A trip through the' Dominion )/. just now reveals none of these weaknesses. ■ The Dominion at present is /6 like a' garden. From Foveaux Straits to North Cape the report is the same ; "a record season", "a greater abundance of grass than can be coped with", "a larger area- being set aside for 'ensilage or haymaking.' U Reports from dairy factories in every province indicate -increased milk and - cream intakes. While increases vary widely, being down as loNv as 5 per cent., in isolated cases, other instances report over 100 per cent, increase ; the } mean level for the Dominion to 30th September shows a 25 per cent, rise on the same period of last year. * While almost equally -satisfactory re- > suits might be reported regarding ' lairjhing, s,thiGHs modified from the • ' fact that excessive killing last year re- » duced the flock of lambing ewes and so the foundation number of ewes is definitely lower and this isVbound to affect the aggregate lambing. Current , values for butter and cheese while low compared with the general average of recent years, are at the moment on a par with last ' year's average price. Little confidence, howe\ver, is being , shown by buyers either for epot deliveries for stocks in London or for f.o.b. forward purchases. ir- An improvement in price N levels is »t looked*- for as the outcome, of Ottawa agreements; this improvement, however, will take some time to bring -about and may be offset by too liberal vs a supply of dairy' produce on to the English market meantime, as a result _. of the hdayy production in Australia „ and N.ew''' i 2ealand. A careful and judicious rationing of shipments throughout the season might obviate a sudden fail in prices and supple- * mented with a possible decrease of European supplies occasioned as a result of quotas, Customs tariffs and ~ European adverse exchange, might 2- even' help towards ©light hnprove- * ment in values.
