THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES.
SLUMP IN TOURIST TRADE. After spending six months touring the Continent, an Aucklander writes from London emphasising how the world trade depression has hit the tourist trade. “I found that the best hotels suffered most, being, in fact, half empty,” he states. “I was in Nice at carnival time, and it was just the same. It is generally recognised that the American tourist traffic has declined to a mere nothing. At -uniite Carlo, where I spent a week, they were making desperate efforts to counteract reports by enthusiastic publicity, but I found half the tables emptv and alcoves with lights turned low and curtains shrewdly drawn. It was no different at other casinos, and worse at Nice, where on some afternoons they could not get the tables going at all. Casino business is a fair barometer of tourist trade and spending, so you can guess how . things are.”
