CORRESPONDENCE.
To me Editor op the 'Evening Maii..' Sat— Your correspondent William Phillips is partly right in supposing the Jam Factory will not pay without a supply of small fruita, but the only way to get that supply is for the company to be established, so that growers may feel certain of securing a market; without that, it is not reasonable to suppose that people will engage in growing fruit of so perishable a nature and then be at the mercy of the few who at present export it. What I fear is that the company will not be established; there is too much apathy and unconcern displayed regarding it, while some of the excuses made for not taking up shares are moat miserable. The | effects of the management of some companies previously established in Nelson are now being felt, and full force is given to the adage " Once bitten twice shy." The consequence is that an undertaking having fair prospects, which would require a considerable amount of labor to be employed, put money in circulation, and open up a lasting export trade, is likely to fall through, and all New Zealand will wonder, no, not wonder, blit say it is just like Sleepy Hollow. I am, &c., Veritas. Nelson, June 28, 1878.
