Flax. — Accounts from Nelson mention that the hand-machine invented there for cleaning the Photmium Tenax, or New Zealand Flax, has proved to be quite successful. If we
.understand the description of ' it— -it is* a -machine for scraping the leaf, in a manner resembling the Maori mode of doing it with the muscle shell ; but one person can produe* as much in a day as seven Maories. It costs but a few shillings. With this improvement, we shall be able to ship the Flax, to meet even the low price which has been off;red for it in England*
From this sum should be further deducted the exchange upon bills, whatever that may be at the time.
