PHOSPHATE SUPPLIES
BETTER SHIPPING FACILITIES DEMAND IN NEW ZEALAND As a result of constructional work completed recently at .Nauru and Ocean Islands, facilities for loading- are bettered and an increased output is possible. This information was brought to New Zealand by Mr. A. F. Ellis, New Zealand commissioner for the British Phosphate Commission, who arrived in Auckland this morning as a passenger on the Maunganui. During the past year, he said. New Zealand had imported 200,000 tons of phosphates, and a 10 per cent, increase was expected next year. As was generally known, the deposits on the islands were immense, and would last for another 100 years, even though the demand be greatly in excess of its present proportions. “Manufacturers in New Zealand are now holding larger stocks of raw phosphates than ever before,” he added.
