We have little to add to last week's remarks, the position beiiiig about the same with most lines.

Tho company's financial position is now such as warrants a large extension in trade, and with this end in view we have lately appointed as travelling representative Mr W. F. Edwards, who will have his headquarters nt Levin, and regularly visit all localities as far north as Paimerston. Mr Edwards has been a successful farmer, and has a full knowledge of the requirements of producers, as well as possessing business-like commercial methods, and transactions entrusted to his care will receive prompt attention. We have this year largely extended our fruit trade, but still have the capacity for a greater increase, and wehopo present suppliers who are satisfied with our efforts on their behalf, will show appreciation by advocating neighbours to ship our way, to the benefit of themselves, the company, and the general protection of the Industry.
