The Bendigo Rise and Shine Gold Mining Company, Limited, states: — “Considerable interest attaches to the development work of the Bendigo Rise and Shine Company in the Cromwell district of Central Otago, as it is hoped that it will definitely establish the possibilities of quartz mining in the southern province. The companies which have operated in the last two or three years have proved the payable quality of the ore and the persistence of the lode system, but insufficient capital or inefficient technical advice on the metallurgical side has operated against success. Profiting by this experience the Bendigo Company has decided to establish an up-to-date battery and operate on a major scale. As a result of development work to date, a fair weight of stone is at grass, and assays have proved the richness of the ore over a promising line of reef. More than half a million of money was produced from the' lode systems of the Cromwell district in the earlier days, and it is hoped that the results in the Bendigo enterprise will offset the bad impression left in investors’ minds as a result of some of the unproved and heavily loaded alluvial enterprises put on the market within the last two years.” PRICE OF GOLD.

A striking tribute to the services rendered to the community by the trading Banks of Great Britain and the dominions was paid by Mr Harold G. Brown, chairman of the N.Z. Loan and M.A. Co., Ltd., in his address to shareholders at the annual meeting in London on December 13. On this topic Mr Brown said:—

It is not without interest, I think, to note that in the forefront of the platform of the Labour Party in Australia, as in this country, is the nationalization of the banks. If there are two countries in the world which owe a debt of gratitude to their banks, or rather their banking systems and those who have controlled them in recent years, they are this country and Australia.

Some mistakes have no doubt been made, but there can be little doubt that the stand taken by the banks saved both countries from a collapse which was drawing unpleasantly close. Reformers the world over always seem to overlook the fact that violent changes of that or any other kind, even if they are theoretically desirable, are calculated to do more harm than the continuance of less theoretically perfect conditions. These same reformers, while genuinely professing to have the welfare of the wage-earners at heart, also overlook in their zeal for reform the elementary fact that vzhat is harmful to business must react on the wageearners as a class. Business can cope with almost any changes if they are gradual, but violent upheavals or too rapid changes nearly always bring calamity to business and. hardship upon that part of the community least able to bear it. BRITISH DAIRYING. QUOTAS CAUSE ALARM. AGREEMENTS WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES. London, December 13. The warning given to Britain by Dr Earle Page, the Australian acting Prime Minister, of the inevitable consequences of its restriction of meat, and other food imports from the Dominions, has caused deep misgiving among a large, section of the National Governments supporters, following, as it does, a series of similar warnings. ,from other spokesmen for Australia and New Zealand; and from representatives of the

British shipping industries. The Financial News states,-in fact, , that an important Parliamentary Committee dealing with Imperial Affairs has now turned definitely against Mr Walter Elliot’s quota schemes for Empire meat and dairy produce, and that Mr Elliot, the Minister of Agriculture, would find the utmost difficulty in securing adequate Government support for his proposals if he should again urge their

acceptance. .What justification there is for this somewhat sweeping statement remains to be seen. Yet among those who, are in close touch with the various marketing boards it is held that official opmion on the subject of Dominion quotas is being considerably modified. There is accumulating evidence that former advocates of “quotas all round are being badly shaken by the refusal or prominent Members of Parliament to accept this policy as a solution of the difficulties of the British farmer, particularly while agreements with foreign countries relating to food imports remain in force. Home Butter-Making. Nor are the former advocates quite so sure as they were about the economic reactions of Dominion quotas. For example, Mr Elliot himself, who recently asked point-blank whether he proposed to increase the present .negligible total of butter factories in the United Kingdom, gave a straight No in reply—plain proof that whatever may be the expectation from butter quotas and subsidies, it is not the development of a home industry. In fact, the last thing in the world that Mr Elliot, the officials of the milk marketing scheme, and the National Farmers’ Union, wish to do at the moment is to give the British dairy farmer an opportunity of falling down on organized butter-making, and so .to have to explain to the world why, with all the advantages of reasonably cheap land, highly efficient transport, proximity to market and valuable goodwill, home butter-making does not pay. On the other hand, there has been a substantial increase at home in the manufacture of cheese, condensed milk and other dairy products the manufacture of all of which is far more suited to the conditions of British dairying than is the manufacture of butter. Numerous supporters of the Government who are at present embarrassed by the parallel existence of a Board of Trade policy which seeks to encourage foreign trade at the expense of our Home and Dominion farmers, and an agricultural policy which menaces Empire trade relations, might welcome with open arms a compromise which retained for the home farmer a greater share of certain dairy manufactures and at the same time assured to the Dominions, an increasing share (at the expense of the foreigner) in the market here for other dairy manufactures. Dominion’s Success In Lancashire.

The New Zealand Dairy Produce Board is now completing its sales campaigns in Manchester and Salford, and has just opened a special exhibition of Dominion butter and cheese in Rochdale. There were 170 entries for its competitions for grocers’ window displays of New Zealand dairy produce in Manchester and 120 in Salford—gratifying totals in both cases. Newspapers in Manchester have paid particular attention to the campaign, stressing the fact that, in return for the free entry of her dairy and other produce into the United Kingdom, New Zealand grants free entry to many kinds of British manufactures, including Lancashire In a leading article entitled “A Good Customer,” the Manchester Daily Dispatch strongly urged Lancashire housewives to respond to New Zealand s appeal for trade reciprocity.
