The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1888. What the Chamber of Commerce Says.

' A quarterly meeting of the .Welling: ton Chamber of Commercewas held this week,' ;aiid it is gratifying to ; notice that'a'more hopeful tone than usual pervaded its discussion. What , the, best ■ business men in any coin- - niunity have-to say is worth listening ' to.andalfbrm'al address of a president of "a Chamber of Commerce is a ■ to which considerable weight must necessarily be attached.. >on this.;occasion tho President informed us tbatour pros-, pectsgeiie'rallywerebecomingbrighter and.the improvement observable was dtur to increased eai'iii'ngs,' New Zeahmd.of late has been spending less and earning more, and this must tell upon our. condition, The volume ofourmaiuexpottg iSiSteadily and materially-'increasing, and there is also aspurt.jnst,howiin;thd''developi mont of our coal and gold mines, • which will be of permanent beh'entfo us. The President, however, warns lis that our" improved'prospeots do not warrant us in lannohing out . into either.pi'ivate or publio-oxtrava-gance.
