NEW ZEALAND PAPER MARKET.

The total value of the imports of paper into New Zealand during 1923 represented £1,096,875, a figure that was 50 per cent, higher than in the preceding year. The share of the Mother Country in last year’s shipments to the New Zealand market represented 51.8 per cent, of the total, compared with only 39 per cent, of the 1922 total. This satisfactory improvement has been chiefly due to the great progress made in supply of printing paper, and to a less extent to the increased share obtained of the trade in paper-hangings and writing paper. Stationery imports were valued at £834,287, against £702,590 in 1922, the United Kingdom’s share in the two years being £609,888 and £499,616.
