PROHIBITION IN INVERCARGIL.
By Telegraph—Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Jan. 14. A representative of the Southland Times interviewed the leading shopkeepers regarding the effects of NoLicense on trade since its inception six months ago. The general opinion was that it had made no difference either in the cash trade, the volume of business done, or in the amount of bad debts. Most of the shopkeepers are positive that NoLicense has not injured trade, but cannot detect any improvement directly due to the new order of things. One tradesman (an ironmonger) stated that his cash trade had increased 33 \ per cent, a result, he believed, of No-License. All the others found practically no difference in cash business. Probably a greater' time must elapse before shopkeepers can speak with any confidence. The opinion was freely expressed that the Exhibition led to some tightness of money.
