JEWELLERY LINES
EFFECT OF IMPORT RESTRICTIONS MASTERTON SHOPS WELL STOCKED. Although so tar the import restrictions have not seriously affected jewellers in Masterton. some apprehension is felt about the future, following on the suspension of all import licences for jewellery during the six months from December to June. Difficulty is being experienced in obtaining novelty lines, but other goods, although quotas had been reduced. were coming to hand. At the present time, it would appear that most jewellers are fairly well stocked, but following the depletion caused by Christmas trade and the ban on imports for the succeeding' six months, there will be a different story to tell next year. The import restrictions, it would appear, as far as the jewellery business is concerned, tend to favour well-estab-lished firms who arc in a position to pay cash in advance for goods ordered and to penalise the smaller business man who desires credit for two or three months. In many instances importers have eliminated credit customers and confined their attention to cash dealers, so they find these easily absorb the reduced quantities of goods now imported.
