_ "All manufacturers prices withdrawn" 1 is the text of a cable message recti,ved , by a Wellington drapery house from its Jinglish buyers on Wednesday. Tliii, ac- i cording to one leading indent agent. ' probably means another 20 to 25 per cent, rise in cotton and woollen manufactured goods from England, and such raay be anticipated in New Zealand. Such are the conditions existing at the present time here that indentors are unable to mention prices at all. Thev can only exhibit their samples, and the retailer sahcts what he require, and submits his order, leaving t'i- price quite open to the manufacture: but such is thf; reliance in tlw latter that all retailers are aware that :io rise is made without justification, anil so order as freely without quoted prices as with thorn. There is no option to do otherwise if fiey would maintain stocks. A rather peculiar position has arisen in the boot trade since the price of hides jumped up so suddenly after the Government declared an open market, says an Auckland paper. It is now possible to import sole leather from England at a trifle under the cost of the local article, and several Auckland retailers have sent orders Home. A merchant speaking of the great rise in the price of foot, wear abroad instanced a line of American goods, which were quoted at 12 dollars a pair in America, to which wou'd have to be added 50 per cent, before thuy could be handled in Auckland. Tli.'s would make the" price over £5 a pair, which, of course, was prohibitive, and the order had to be cancelled There remedy for throat and chest trou> »s that has been tested so thoroughly and searcuirj ,-j "Nazol."
