A New Zealand firm has received from Scotland the following letteo.-, stating tha,t the action of the dockers there may have the effect of lessening the export of Scotch whisky to the Dominion:—"We beg to advise you thai) export of whisky is meantime suspended indefi.nit.sly, owing to the attitude adopted by the dockers at Glasgow and Liverpool. Apparently they have the feeling that no liquor should be sent out of the Country when the Gov-am-ment is allowing so litt'.e out of bond for consumption by the Home public. This impossible state of matters cannot, of course, continue, and we are jus'tf afraid that the Government will be forced to release more whisky and other liquors from bond to appease the public clamour. Consequently, if this hap--1 pens, then the quantity of whisky available for export will be eoirrespond- , irigly curtailed."
