The Flax Trade
(per. united press association.) Auokland, Dec. 30. During a visit to England Mr E. Bell, who has "just returned to Auckland, interviewed Hindley and Co., the principal London dealers in fibres, and had a conversation with them in regard to New Zealand flax. He ' was told that New Zealand flax would have nothing to fear in competition with other fibres proyiding that a good standard of quality was maintained. This condition was indispensable, and if the quality was irregular the fibre would not be able to compete witb that from other centres Messrs Hindley and Co. also urged that it was necessary to do away with the middlemen and numerous oharges entailed before the flax came into their hands. They considered it most important that the producers in New Zealand should be brought into direct communication with the dealers. Mr Bell was informed by Messrs Hindley and Co. that the best flax which reached them came from Auckland.
