Gelignite Supplies
Advice that because of the.extreme shortage of supplies from the normal source, Australia, arrangements had been made to obtain a shipment of A.N. gelignite from the United Kingdom, was received from the Minister of Industries and Commerce (the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) at a meeting of the Southland Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union recently. Because of the heavy freight and insurance charges permission had been granted to increase the selling price of this grade until all stocks had been sold in New Zealand. This should be accomplished by the end of October, when a reduction in price could be expected. It was probable that Australia would be able to resume its position of sole supplier to this market soon. If so, prices would probably be reduced to those obtaining before the recent increase.
