We would draw our readers attention to the important sale of stock which will take place at Mr. P. Hogan’s, ■Manawaru, on. Saturday next at 12 o’clocjj,. For the convenience of those wishing to attend the sale from a distance; will-meet morning trains arriving, at Te Aroha station- on Saturday, and will proceed to the sale,, returning to Te Aroha afterwards in time to eatch the 6. 30 train to Thames. Particulars of this sale will be found in our advertising columns. Mr F. A. North, of New York, who is engaged by the Educational Departraent of that city as a lecturer on geographical and historical subjects, is at Kent travelling through ‘New Zea to acquire information on various matters that will be of use to him in the course of his professional duties. From inquiries made we (‘’:Otago Daily Times ”) learn that the prospects of the woollen manufacturing industry in this colony show little, if any inis provement. Although, the wool mar., ket has remained buoyant there has been a steadily increasing supply of, it is alleged, inferior goods containing a large pereentage of shoddy, and to this face the slackness in the woollen trade is largely attributed. In 1885 the amount of shoddy and inungo con.sumed in the United Kingdom was 102,000,0001 b, In 1890 it had risen to 120,000,0001 b, in 1900 to 130,000,0001 b, and in 1904 to 180*000,0001b. This. increasing displacement of allwool material by the substitution of shoddy manufactures naturally proves detrimental to the piosperity of the woollen trade, both at Home and abroad, and it ie concluded that this undesirable state of affairs is almost solely owing to the public demand for a cheap article. Until the public realises that it is cheaper in the end to purchase all-wool material in preference to shoddy goods there is reason to fear that there will be no revival in the woollen manufacturing industry. Importers of New Zealand butter a home are thinking of shipping some back again, “o'Wing to high prices ruling locally this winter. We feel certain they would not do so if they only knew Johnson ahd Wigg are selling some of the very primest local farmers’ at lid per lb.—Advt. Something for nothing is a rare chance. It may be yours by attending to this notice. Every purchaser of Hatrick’s well and favourable known 3 s Kaiapoi fingering now sold during his clearing sale at 2s 6d, may have for the asking a patent winder worth 2s 6d.—Advt.
