Whitebaite Industry.
Wv G. A. Woods, ot the Hokitika Whitebait Preserving Works, has just imported one of Milne’s latest patented toggle and drawing press for the manufacture of .tins in which whitebait are put up. The machine is not only labor-saving, but also inatsrial saving. It stamps out tins in one piece and no soldering is required. The machine has a capacity for 13,000 tins daily and is very much in advance of the old process. It works with great smoothness and can be manipulated by unskilled labor. 11 is said to be the first machine of the kind imported into the colony. So far the catch of whitebait is not magnificent this season, and there will be a marked shortage in supplies usually available, and only a very small percentage of orders are likely to be filled.
