THE FLAX INDUSTRY.
Mr W. Lindop, of the Otira line flaxmills. Greymouth, speaks more hopefully of the flax trade than anyone else has done recently, and produces figures to show that there is still money to be made in the industry and that it is increasing in value. His latest returns from Wellington show that his merchants give him £lB per ton for fair graded flax, and £22 for good fair grade, while the value "of tow has gone up 15s a ton recently, being now worth £5 per ton. These prices are f.o.b. at Wellington. It is hoped that a new era is about to sat in with the flax as it will afford employment for a number of hands profitably if these prices are maintained.
