The Manawatu Herald. Tuesday, October 15th., 1912. NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A communication was forwarded to us yesterday from the Secretary of Agriculture, Industries and Commerce as follows: —“In order to ascertain the extent to which the reported drought in the Philippines would probably influence the hemp market, that is if current values were likely to be maintained, the Secretary of Agriculture, Industries and Commerce cabled to H.M. Consul at Manila to the following effect:—’“Sharp rise in prices in hemp in London said to be due to decreased output in Philippines. Kindly cable causes, and whether likely to continue.’’ To this the following reply has been received :—No shortage in arrivals of hemp here at present, but eventual decrease of possibly 100,000 bales this year owing to drought last year is anticipated, provided present demand continues.’’
