THE ROYAL SHOW

WELLINGTON PROVINCIAL EXHIBITORS LIST OF SUCCESSES Exhibitors from the Wellington pro viuce hail their fair share of success at tlie Royal Show at Auckland, competing with outstanding credit in the various classes, which included some of the must classic live stuck m the Dominion. This was particularly noticeable in the sheep section, the majority of awards, including the champions and reserve champions, being annexed by competitors from this part of the island. To give some idea of the keen competition in all sections, it is only necessary to mention that at the Christchurch Royal Show last year 55 pigs were entered, while this year a total of 203 were exhibited at Auckland. In the cattle section there were 588 entries, and in the sheep classes 527 The entries in the horse section totalled 469.

The report presented at the annua) meeting of shareholders of the Nelson Freezing Company this afternoon, disclosed a small profit on the year’s operations. No dividend was declared. In view of the position of many other freezing companies, the financial position was considered satisfactory. In moving the adoption of the report the chairman (Mr. G. MaeMabon) hoped the farmers would support their own concern better. The opinion was expressed that the lambing season had been a good one, and that plenty of lambs would be available, for freezing. Dissatisfaction was expressed at what was termed the high charges made by the Meat Board, it being considered these should be reduced in view of the large credit balance held by the board. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company have received the following dairy produce cablegram from London (last week's quotations in parentheses):—Butter: New - Zealand choicest, stored, 138 s. to 1425. per cwt.

COMMERCIAL BANKINCREASE OF CAPITAL The directors of the Commercial Bank of Australian have decided to seek the authority of the shareholders to increase the capital of the bank to £5,000,000, by t lie creation of 2,000,000 additional ordinary shares of 10s. each. The additional shares are to bo issued in such iiuinbors-'aiid at such times as the directors may think expedient and the shares are to bo offered in the first instance at

a premium of 10s. per share to the members of the company whether preference or ordinary iu proportion to the number of shares held by them respectively. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders is to be held in Melbourne on December 9, when the resolutions increasing the capital will be submitted for consideration and approval. AVhen the whole issue is taken up the reserve fund will bo strengthened by £1,060,000. The secret of this issue has been well maintained for it is some time since tlie shares were in active demand. PENDING WOOL SALES A wool sale will bo held in Napier today, and on Tuesday the sixth and closing series oj; London wool sales will begin, when approximately 137,600 bales will be catalogued, of which 28,500 bales are from New Zealand. The prospects for the London wool sales are very much brighter than they were a fortnight ago, or even a week ago, and the collapse of the miners’ strike is in some degree responsible for that. AVriting after the close of the last series Messrs. H. Dawson and Co. stated that the great needs for Bradford were a bigger Home demand, to keep machinery fully employed, and a business that is sufficiently remunerative to pay wages and expenses. The resumption of work by the miners will set all the industries of the United Kingdom operating, and with more workers employed there will bo a wider spending power, which must react on the country’s textile trade. It is possible that prices may not show any marked improvement, but buying should bo free and well spread. AH users of the raw material are bound to act cautiously, for, as one authority remarked: “AA 7 hen one considers the larger and fundamental factors ot supply and demand, there is need for a steady cautious policy, especially in view of cheaper raw materials in some of the allied industries.” The crux cf the situation rests with those who are in direct contact with the public who necessarily require to see a reasonable prospect of an early quittance of manufactured goods before fuJlv stocking up. Temerity on the ps»rt of the retailers permeates all sections. The disposition now is to let the wants of the public take definite form before engaging in a heavy outlay, lather than cater for them in anticipation. It is difficult .to s ay w hat America will do. According to Messrs 11, Dawson and Co., the market has telt -severely the lack of U.S.A. has been conspicuously absent aunn e . the whole of the year; for they have been free sellers of ivools in European markets rather than buyers * cent months.
