LAftD VALUES. FARMERS’ DIFFICULTIES. In his speech at the annual meeting of Hie Bank of Mew Zealand recently, Mr Geo. Elliot, the eliainnan, clean at sume length with the-ques-tion ol land values. Instaneesniave come under our notice ol lanners (said Air Eiiiotj who paid unreasonably high prices lor j land, having been obliged to l'orleit j the portion ol me purchase money j (often running into thousands of i pounds) which they had paid, and to hand back the property to ihe veil- j dors. Other vendors have written oil ] large sums due to them to induce ihe purchasers to remain on the land, and further losses, we fear, will have to be faced belore bedrock is touched. None of these losses, however, need occasion alarm as to the stability of the country, because the proportion of failures will be small. The productive capacity of ihe country will, on the: whole, not be ledueed. Although in some cases properties have deteriorated, in. others the carrying capacity of the land and the quality oi the stock have been improved, In the long run, the Dominion will be in a better position lor having been purged ol unwholesome conditions. Dependent as we are on Ihe export of our primary products, values must be based on what land can produce in Competition with other countries in the markets ot the world, our geographical position, tire high rate of wages, and the high price of land are material disadvantages under which we labour. Then again, land in many instances is he'd in larger holdings than permits of it being utilised lo ihe fullest, advantage. By judicious sub-division the number ol settlers could be largely increased with little or no furl her expenditure on roads and railways. The low rate <d interest which ruled jo die Dominion, and the readiness with which vendors as a whole accepted small deposits on* - account of purchase money on farm property. were important factors in abnormally raising land values. The South Island has not suffered lo anything like the same extent ns the North, as land values there were not inflated to the same degree. CAN BE DEPENDED UPON.
