STUD STOCK
FEARS OF SERIOUS POSITION. ON ACCOUNT OF IMPORT RESTRICTIONS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Substantial reductions in the quota of imported stud stock as a result of the import restrictions were reported by a number of Wellington mercantile firms yesterday. It was contended that this would have serious repercussions on the bloodstock situation in Now Zealand unless some easing of the restrictions followed appeals that were certain to be lodged. It was pointed out that New Zealand was a big exporter of stud stock and must maintain its flocks and herds by importing the best stock from overseas countries. Thousands of pounds worth of stock were imported yearly. Leading Wellington importers stated yesterday that a large quantity of stock ordered was on its way, but the quota allowed under the import restrictions did not come up to the usual amount. It was further stated that these imports represented a very small percentage compared with New Zealand’s export trade, but they were essential if the Dominion’s primary production and its quality were to be maintained. Years had been spent building up this quality and production, and any setback would have serious repercussions.
