(By Telegraph-
WELLINGTON, This Day. Pressure of military contracts has made Continental factories very busy and some firms are not seeking external trade, according to Mr W. H. Zander, of Wellington, who returned by the Wanganella to-dav after visiting Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Mr Zander found buying conditions far from easy iu some of these countries. Germany was very busy on internal orders and external trade had dropped; Italy appeared to be overbooked with American orders and did not seem to be catering for or worrying about the English trade; manufacturers there were very independent. In Vienna, said Mr Zander, many factories were worlcing on Government military contracts. This state of affairs was quite unusual as the early months of the year are generally slack in the manufacturing centres.
