SLIGHTLY BETTER “The latest advice 1 have had is that conditions in England seem to be improving slightly,” said Mr. D. &• A McDougall, whafs visiting New Zealand at present in the interests of Cooper, McDougall and Robertson, sheep .dip manufacturers, of Berkharnstrd, England, in an interview in Christchurch. “Our own business is up against serious difficulties, in that it is supplying products to the fanning community, which, of course, is extraordinarily hard hit. The English manufacturers are faced with an adverse exchange and increased costs through the vise in the price of raw' materials at Home, w'hich in turn is due to the abandonment bv Ore# Britain of the gold standard. This, together with the import duty on foreign raw materials, increases the cost of many materials very considerably. Great Britain supplied afamt PO per cent, of the sheep dips imported into New Zealand, said Mr. McDougrdl In Australia, .which he left about six weeks ago, he found that conditions in the pastoral industry were slightly better than they seemed to be in New ' Zealand.
