A BETTER OUTLOOK.
A change for the better is the hopeful note struck by the most recent edition of the "New Zealand Trade Review,*' and this optimistic impression is shared by the managers of the leading wholesale houses of New
Zealand. Several of these were interviewed by an Auckland "Star" representative, and interesting statements were made by them in regard to the outlook for the immediate future from a business point of view. "Trade generally is in a much improved condition throughout New Zealand," said the manager of one leading wholesale firm doing business all over New Zealand." The money tringency is not so acute now, the same gentleman opines, and beyond the fact that a slight weeding out of the financially unfit has taken place, the period of tightness in the money market has been successfully negotiated The outlook is a healthy one. Asked as to the effect which the recent stringent period had had from a colonial point of view, another gentleman interviewed said that his business throughout New Zealand had unquestionably felt the change. They could not help feeeling, however, that when there was a tightening, as was the case last year, there was a great deal of unnecessary panic. People began to talk "slump," and then to prepare for it. They drew in their horris. and made a rod for their own backs.
