At the present

time there is a slight set back and lower prices are ruling. AYe do not think however, tjiat shippers need be greatly perturbed over the slight fall in values as we are of the opinion that the market will recover again very shortly. Cheese has ranged from 02s to Oils and back again to 01s. The latest quotations show a slightly lower figure and it is possible that quotations will remain about this level for some little time. However, we think the general tendency will be for a firming market from the end of the month onwards.

He believed a tax should be placed on land sales so as not to make it worth while dealing with land. Until that was done they were only wasting tune talking about house shortage and reducing the cost of living. They should get down to the root of the trouble at once, land speculation. ”1 was astounded,” added Colonel Hell, “to find no proposal in tin* Governor's Speech to deal with land settlement.” In his own district there were over three million acres with a population of only 00, not), though the land could carry a quarter of a million. He had seen the same tiling in Southland, and he hoped and trusted the Government would take immediate steps to settle idle lands throughout New Zealand, exercising greater care in the -.election of immigrants.
