Selling-rates. The selling-rates for supply have been slightly modified, and all additional consumers and those whose agreements expire are now placed on the standard rates. Industrial Developments. The shortage of power has restricted new industrial developments, and neither Messrs. Kemp-thorne-Prosser's new chemical works in Hornby nor the Kaiapoi Woollen Company's works in Woolston are as yet receiving power. Messrs. Waddell's steel-furnace has been operating fairly continuously during the last few months of the year, but in the meantime is confined to night supply only.
