PRICES OF NEW ZEALAND TIMBERS.
BOARD OF TRADE CONTRADICTS A STATEMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Dec. 1. A contradiction is given by the Board of Trade to the statement that New Zealand timbers can be purchased in Australia at prices lower than those ruling for the same classes of timber in New Zealand. So far as New Zealand prices aTe concerned these are controlled by the Board of Trade by agreement with saw-millers, and Australian lists in the possession of the board show that prices are considerably lower in New Zealand for all classes of New Zealand timbers. The misconception has probably arisen owing to the fact that Australian lists in some case) quote prices at per 1000 feet lineal, whereas the same classes of timber in New Zealand price lists would be quoted at per 100 ft. super.
