IMPORTED BOOTS
FLOODING THE MARKET
Auckland, Yesterday
'Some figures indicating the extent to which the imported article is Hooding the market so far as hoots are concerned were given by the Prime Minister last evening. A return recently furnished, he stated, showed that for four months from July to October this year 49.500 dozen pairs of boots, valued at £492,450, had come from overseas. For the corresponding quarter of last year there were imported 15,220 dozen pair, valued at £112,042. A meeting of the Auckland Root Retailers’ Association passed a motion recording its firm belief that there is no ground for any anticipation that prices of footwear will appreciably decrease in the present or immediate future.
