MANUFACTURE OF DYES IN BRITAIN.

The High Commissioner for New Zealand, in London, has been informed by the British Board of Trade that in the last two or three years considerable progreas has boen made in the manufacture of artificial dyestuffs in Britain, and it may be taken that, generally speaking. British manufacturers are now in a position to meet the demand both of the United Kingdom and the Dominions for about 75 per cent of the dyestuffs which they are likely to require under normal conditions. The remaining 25 per cent are largely dyes of a special character, the manufacture of which can only be undertaken as the necessary raw materials and technical skill become available. Up to the present the progress has been most marked with regard to those dyes required for the woollen industry, particularly those used for woollen piece-goods dyeing, and it is therefore reasonable to hope that it will shortly be possible to meet the whole of the requirements of the New Zealand woollen industry for dyes from British sources of supply. In this connection it may be stated that during the year 1917 licenses were granted for the export to New Zealand of 7H tons of dyes
