Timber Market.
We understand that Mr Green away, of Messrs Greenaway and Henderson, proceeds to Sydney next week for the purpose of closing up the firm's timber business there. This is much to be regretted, as it will mean a considerable loss to the wage-earning community in this district, these gentleman paying no less a sum than £8000 in wages alone last year. As the matter stands at the present, these enterprising mill owners state that there is no margin on white pine timber for export, in consequence of their inability to ob tain a reduction in the freight paid on the railway carriage to the nearest port. We have strenuously advocated the reduction of freight ob white pine timber for export, and as the Hon. Mr Cadman will be in Dannevirke in the course of a few days something will probably be accomplished to this end.— Dannevirke Post.
