TRADE IN DECEMBER.
In referring to the trade done daring December last in New Zealand, the "Trade Review" says that wholesale houses generally reported that during the earlier part of December trade was very quiet, though improvement was noticeable later on. It was stated that, on the whole, the month's turnover was quite equal to expectations, though falling, to some extent, short of Ihe usual Christmas trade. A considerable proportion of the retail dealers, however, reported that the season's trade had been decidedly slack and disappointing. "Under existing circumstances," adds the journal, "we cannot regard a shrinkage of trade as a thing to be regretted, as we are convinced that a period of economy and restriction would prove beneficial to the body politic."
