PETROL PRICES RAISED POSITION IN CANTERBURY Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. The price of petrol a gallon in Christchurch from this morning will be 2s for first grade and Is lid for second grade. This decision was reached at a meeting of the Petrol Resellers’ Association, following the announcement that the oil companies would charge retailers an extra 2d and bear the extra Id increase in duty themselves. MORRINSVILLE DAIRY COMPANY * From Our Own Correspondent MORRINSVILLE. Tuesday. The annual meeting of the Morrinsville Dairy Company, was held on Monday. Mr. J. E. Leeson, chairman of directors, presided. The chairman said the production of the company for the season had increased from 1,212 tons to 1,577 tons of butter, an increase of 365 tons. “Any forecasts made at the beginning of the season are usually falsified,’’ said Mr. Leeson, in expressing his hesitation about forecasting the prospects for the coming season. This time last year companies were being offered Is 4£d for butter for early shipment, but this year buyers would offer only Is 2d and that only for the month c-f August. The low prices had put the speculator out of business. The most they could expect was Is 3d a lb. this season. The retiring directors, Messrs. FW. Seifert, F. West and J. H. Gaddes, were re-elected unopposed. The directors’ remuneration for the year was fixed at £2BO. A dividend of 6 per cent, on paidup share capital was declared.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK N.Z. SHARE MARKET MOVEMENTS REVIEWED By "NOON CALL” Business in Stock Exchange circles continues confined to within the smallest compass for many years and, although a true analysis of the position shows that there is not the shortage of money the more pessimistic would have us believe, there is certainly a tendency to restrict expenditure in every possible direction. The wave of depression which started last year seems to be reaching its highest point and on every hand there is talk of economy and still more economy. In many instances there is every indication that the efforts toward reduced expenditure are misdirected and would be better employed in bringing about rationalisation and increased efficiency within the industry concerned, but, be that as it may, it is evident that there is no 4 w a very decided disinclination to spend on anything which can be done without. On the investment market the same tendency is recorded and business, as a result, is suffering. As in all other periods of depression, so today the investing public makes safety a first Essential and gilt-edge stocks are the only securities meeting with a firm and consistent demand; even local body debentures are not as popular as they might be and any dealings in loans of the lesser public bodies of the Dominion today would have to be done on a basis which would allow a return of slightly over 6 per cent.
That the money is available for investment and the general stimulation of industry was shown clearly in the banking returns for the last quarter. The returns of fixed deposits showed little real change on the figures for the corresponding period of last year. The fact is, however, that the more the propaganda of the pessimist is allowed to circulate, the more closely the public is inclined to hang on to its savings. POSITION OVERSEAS There has been no movement in the overseas position to warrant any fresh wave of pessimism. The markets for our primary produce show little change and, although the outlook in certain instances may be a little uncertain, it is hard to see justification for any contention that price's will be tiny worse than has been the case over the past six months. The tendency is all the other way. The butter market is fairly steady and, with production in the Northern Hemisphere continuing to fall as the summer season advances, the demand for the produce of the Southern Hemisphere improves. Wool allows every indication of meeting with a better demand as soon as our Southern season opens. Beef prices, by comparison, arc good and lamb and mutton meet with a steady demand, even though the prices may not be as high as could be expected. The result of the Canadian elections -were not favourable to the New Zealand butter producer, but the battle over tariffs is not over yet and before the increased duty on New Zealand butter is definitely settled many points will, have to be considered and bargained over. Canada finds New Zealand too profitable a market for many of her manufactures to play round indiscriminately with tariff barriers. MOVEMENTS ON N.Z. SHAREMARKET The demand on the New Zealand sharemarket has been directed principally in the direction of gilt-edge securities, free-of-income-tax Government securities meeting with the strongest demand. There has been a brighter tone with respect to the banking group, however, and although there has not been any appreciable improvement in prices, a fair amount of business has been recorded. Shares in companies dealing with the man on the land meet with little demand on levels which allow business to be transacted. Coals are also neglected. The flooding of the Hikurangi mine for the third time in recent years, coming on top of the news that the Waikato mines had missed in their attempts to get a share of the Power Board’s business, has had a psychological reaction and coal shares are not popular at the moment. There are exceptions and these at the moment are Westports and Grey Valleys, both South Island companies. The industrial group shows little life, investors, generally, not showing much faith in this class of security. Below is a summary of some of the business in better-class investments which has taken place on the New Zealand Stock Exchange over the past few days, giving the approximate return on investment based on the latest dividend. In every case the price is the latest up to August 5. Approx.
POTATOES FIRMLY HELD POSITION IN CANTERBURY Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. With the heavy south-west storm there has been little chance of produce being delivered during the- past few days and the market is very quiet, with very little alteration in values. The rain has affected chiefly the potato market. The grower remains a very firm holder. Quotations are £ 4 15s to £4 17s 6d for prompt delivery, £4 17s 6d to £5 for August delivery, and £5 to £5 2s 6d for August-Sep-tember delivery. There are a few inquiries from Auckland and the other ports. The next boat due to leave for Auckland is the Waipiata tomorrow or on Thursday, and it is not expected that she will take a very big cargo. The Waimarino will be the next, about Monday. There js still a fairly good demand for oats and the market is firm at late rates. Today Southern quotations are 3s lOd a bushel, f.0.b., s.i., for A Gartons, and 3s 9d for B grade. Local B Gartons have been sold at 4s and A grade at 4s Id. Chaff for- prompt delivery has been sold at £7 to £7 2s 6d, f.0.b.. s.i., which is equivalent to £5 7s Cd to £5 10s a ton on trucks. A few lines of onions are still coming forward and the best quality lines can command up to £ 4 a ton on trucks. Fowl wheat is firm with the inquiry good at 6s to 6s Id a bushel, f.0.b., s.e.
MATURING LOAN GOVERNMENTS OFFER TO HOLDER Special to THE SUN WELLINGTON, Tuesday. In connection with the 4J per cent, war bonds which were issued in 1916 for war purposes and which mature on September 1, the Minister of Finance, the Hon. G. W. Forbes, stated today that the Government was offering holders of the maturing bonds renewal for a further period, to September 1, 1937, in either inscribed stock or bearer debentures. The securities issued in renewal will bear interest at the rate of 5h per cent., payable half-yearly on March 1 and September 1. The maturing securities were issued with the condition of freedom from in-come-tax, but the income from the securities issued in renewal will not be exempt from taxation. It should be clearly understood, of course, that in-come-tax will not be deducted from the half-yearly interest payments, but will be payable only by investors whose incomes are assessable for taxation in tho usual way. Bonds which are not to be renewed will be paid on presentation at maturity at any branch of the Bank of New Zealand. FRANKTON STOCK SALES BEEF MARKET ADVANCES Special to THE SUN HAMILTON, Tuesday.
