Prior to the outbreak of war the quotation ruled at £lB to £l9 a ton. Hardware merchants state that the price is likely to advance even on the high values now ruling, and that the Australian quotations are above £64. At the present time it is estimated that there are not ICO tons of roofing iron in New Zealand, and there is no definite information of any cargoes coming to hand. Merchants, in fact, in the absence of any invoices or advices, can live only in hopes that the boats which may arrive from oversea will have amongst their other cargo a shipment of roofing iron. Roofing Iron was 250 % above pre-war prices when above item was published: 10 days later the quotation was £BO per ton, a further rise of 80 per cent.
