The fact staring us in the face is, that our surplus is now at the export value. Oats—The demand from the outside is small, almost nothing, and the local enquiries are very low for speculative transactions whatever. Potatoes are all finished with regard to export, some 2000 tons left over will rot. Central Dairy Factory—We hear the obstructions in the way of building have been removed, and very shortly the foundation stone at Addington will be laid The delay in this step has not been from any fault of the directors ; " red tape " had all to do with it.
