DUMPING IN NEW ZEALAND.

0 Evidence continues to accumulate as to the attempts that arc being made to “dump" goods—soft goods, boots, and shoes, and motor cars principally in New Zealand (says the New Zealand Times). The Australian manufacturers who have been working at full pressure for a couple of years past in order to reap the benefit of the high prices prcvaling, have seen their sales falling off seriously, and suddenly for six months past, and now with bulging warehouses they find the diminished demand persistent, coupled with a falling overseas market. Tn this plight they have turned to New Zealand as a. (lading ground, so far with little success. Similarly big Australian soft goods houses arc doing their best to place (heir heavy overstock in New Zealand, but retailers arc shy, and arc only buying from hand to mouth, perhaps necessarily so owing to recently altered financial conditions. It is not anticipated that they will care to operate with their old freedom until the financial position becomes a little easier. What is making it hard for the importer is the sudden dumping of old orders from overseas. T T p till sixmonths ago retailers found that in order to get anything like their requirements they had to order, four, six, eleven ten times the quantity. Now, these big orders are coming home to roost, and many traders arc being put to great inconvenience to meet the drafts on such goods. In the meantime the bonded stores of the Dominion arc tilled to overflowing - , as retailors naturally find it sufficiently difficult to meet demand drafts, without worrying about duty. \

Mr. M. Fosella, who lias returned to Levin after spending several nionllis in Paueete, a French possession in (lie Eastern Pacific, states that there arc 1 several species of large crabs to be found on the island. One known as the robber crab, which averages up to I t inches in length and a width of eight to ten inches, is a notorious climber, and scales the tallest cocoanut palms, breaks the nuts from the palm, and allows them to fall to the ground. The crab then leisurely descends and makes its meal off 'the broken nut. Another species called the turluru, lores its way into the ground, frequently undermining streets and even houses. ft was particularly interesting to watch this crab making a meal, picking up pieces of food in its claws and conveying .them to its mouth like a human being. Tano Faina, the head comedian of “The Diggers,’' scored a decided hit at i’icton the other night, and at least one of his successes was unrehearsed (says the .Marlborough Press). Ho was giving an imitation of a selection he had heard from an ancient gramophone in Cairo, when a pug dog at the back of the hall, with an evident antipathy to phonograph records, snapped out its protest in the most vehement manner. Tano tried to outvoice the dog, but the dog won easily, and the comedian left the stage amidst convulsive laughter. "When the audience had regained its equilibrium. Tamo’s funny face again appeared trem the wings, and he acknowledge.! defeat by plaintively essaying the remark, “His Master’s Voice.” The meeting (hat was to have been held last night to consider the question of forming a band for the Hosing Day Carnival lapsed for want of a quorum. An effort now, wo understand, will bemade to obtain the services of an outside baud for the day.

When people generally understand that all such fatal diseases as fistula, ulcer of the rectum, fissures, etc, almost invariably begin in a simple case of Piles, they will learn the wisdom of taking prompt treatment for the first appearance of this trouble. Doan’s Ointment is unequalled for every form of Piles—bleeding, itching, protruding and blind Piles, and hundreds of lives have been saved by using this cheap, but effective remedy, right at (he start, because at such times a single pot has often effected a cure, while in the old, deep-seated, chronic cases, several pots are sometimes necessary. Here is a. case;— Mrs. E. Beamsley, 54 Bell Street, Wanganui, says;—-“A member of my family was a martyr to itching and protruding Piles, the pain and irritation being almost unbearable. lie tried-remedy after remedy, in the hope of a cure, but none of these seemed able to give him more than passing relief. Thinking that nothing would ever cure him, he gave up using remedies of all kinds until one day he was told of the healing and soothing properties of Doan’s Ointment. He bought a pot without delay, and after applying same for a few days, was delighted to find that it was really doing him good. He persevered with the treatment, and by (he time the pot was finished he was completely cured, all signs of the Piles having disappeared entirely. ’ ’

Doan’s Ointment is sold by all chemists and storekeepers at its per pot, or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-McClellan Co., 15 Hamilton .Street, Sydney. But be sure you get Doan’s.
