LOWER PRICE LEVELDEFINITELY SET IN

(United Press 'Association)

WELLINGTON, This Day.Reporting to :he Prime Ministei

the President of the hoard of Tradesays a. movement to a lower price levelhas definitely set in and is beingwatched by the hoard to ensure tint•the puhlie' receives Ihe benefit. Thedownward price movement appears tobe spreading. There seems no don hiprices generally are tending to fall. - s

for instance the cable messages withregard to butter and wheat. All class

the. community recognise ihe im-possibility of maintaining the nigtprice level which has prevailed duringthe past year. A change was inevita.'iiiand would finally have been broughtabout l)v the failure of demand as th-purchasing jiower of customers is becorning more limited. Instances of fall-ing prices in clothing, groceries am:footwear are given. The board, throughthe priv investigation tribunals, ifft ill performing a most useful servicrand is promptly dealing with all mil-

plaints submitted by the public. As a

result of oases already decided, tin 'v

lias been a notable diminution in thenumber ni complaints brought beforethe tribunals. It is quite certain thefinancial difficulties in Britain and theMuted States, with .the drop infreighs, and which still continues,must result in lower prices for manu-factured goods imported from over-seas.

THE EX-KAISER

FROM time to time various reportssire received concerning the future in-iientious of the Hohonzollcrns, butwithout continuation very little heedcan be given to the stories. It is onthe face of it hardly likely that theoM-Kaiser will ever leave, his sanctuaryin Holland unless by force. It may beremembered that during the Britishelections in December, 1918, Mr LloydGeorge promised; ;that .the ex-Kaisershould lie brought to justice. At thattime the exiled ruler filled the publiceye and mind a great deal more thanhe does now, and the idea of makinghim stand his trial for the crime lie"had committed/against humanity inbringing about the war -was most po-pular with many people. Article 227of the Treaty of Versailles, for whichMr Lloyd George was mainly respon-sible, set forth that—

"The Allied and Associated Powerspublicly arraign William 11. of Honen-zollern, formerly German Emperor,

' for a supreme offence against intcrnai-, tional morality and the sanctity of

Treaties. A special tribunal will beconstituted to try the accused, there-

' by assuring him the guarantee essen-J tial to the right of defence. It will

t be composed of five, judges, one ap-

pointed by each of the following Pow-' ers, namely: The United States of

! America, Great Britain, France, Italyr and Japan. In its decision the tri-

bunal will be guided by the highest1 motives of international policy, with a

• view to vindicating the solenfti obli-] gations of international undertakings

and the validity of international mor-

'. ality. It will be its duty to fix the', punishment which it considers should," be imposed."" Holland has insisted on its right to" give the cx-Kaiser asylum in nccorcl-L anco with its national and domestic• legislation. "You will agree," wrote

f Mr Llovd George recently to a sup*

; porter, 'who complained that his con-I. stituents were constantly heckling

him about the Government's failure,■ to redeem its promise, "that it was

; not contemplated in the promise given3

at the time of the election that wo

• should proceed to the extremity of a'" war with Holland in order to enforce' the demand of the Allies for the sur-i nlllder „f the ex-Kaiser, and as the

- joint request and- protest of all the

Allies to the Netherlands Government; did not avail to secure the desired end,

the ex-Kaiser remains in Holland. It. ] )as nroved impossible to complete the

proniiso you refer to." The presentposition is .unsatisfactory, and the„„lv simo conclusion is thai the Al-lies feel sure they are taking the wis-

est course in their own interests by al-l„vnii{r the arch-offender to remain

free in Holland, but only in Holland.

LOCAL AND GENERAL: The Railway Departments delay' removing the Anneebrook Level Cross-' ng Death-Trap will sooner or later

1 possibly sooner, result in another fa.> tality. Even with every care by en<• pine-drivers and the users of the road,■ it only requires a certain set of ar-' enmstanoes to render a terrible acci-

dent absolutely unavoidable.Attention is drawn to an advertise-

ment in another column m reference toapplications from certified teachers forthe position of organising teachem foiwork in Upolu and Savau (Western

COMMERCIAL

SYDNEY WOOL SALES

(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association)

SYDNEY, Feb. 1.The wool sales have resumed. The

chief feature is the improved demandfor mediums by foreign buyers, moreparticularly Americans and Japanese,and u- less pronounced tendency to payhigh prices for the very best offeringswhich marked th© earlier sales of theseason. Otherwise the market is aboutsteady at about November rates' Wastyand inferiors are practically unsaleable.

Messrs Dalgety and Company, Ltd.report having received the followingcablegram from their London house,under date of the 27th inst. : "Woolsales continue very firm. Competitionanimated, improvement in demandpartly due to American buying. Con-tinental and English buyers are buy-ing more freely. As compared withlast sales' closing rales Merino woofsgreasy, par to 5 per cent, lower; 61-70combing wools are often rathevr-dearer. Merino wools, scoured, par to•5 per rent, lower. Crossbred wools,fine quality, greasy, 10 per cent,lower. Crossbred wools, medium qual-ity, greasy, 10 per cent, lower. .'56-40sold at 8d to 9d. Crossbred wools,scoured, scarcely any demand. FreeAustralian, 35,000 bales offered. NewZealand. 1115 bales. Bulk sold."

Messrs Levin and Co., Ltd., have re-ceived the following report from theirWellington house of the wool salesheld there on 31st January, 1921:

The second sale of tho 1920-21seasonwas held to-day, the total offering be-ing 16,992 bales, of which our cata-logue comprised'4,s4o.bales. The of-fering was larger than was expected,but many growers are desirdns oftaking advantage of the'Anierican de-mand, whilst it is available, and aresending their clips forward earlierthan would otherwise have been thecase under Mie conditions prevailingthis seasoo.

We had a catalogue of good woolswell representative of the best clipsfrom the Wairarapa, Manawatu, Ran-gitikei. and Marlborough districts,and our endeavour was to give asmuch space as possible to the mostsaleable clips.

There was a good attendance olbuyers, and it was soon evident thatAmerica was in the market for thebest lots and prepared to pay Decem-ber prices and something better. Thisdemand, however, was strictly limitedto light conditioned 46's and over, andanything unskirted, mixed in grades,or dull in colour was severely leftalone. At the December sale Americawas not so fastidious and accepted par-cels of bright 44-46's. but to-day thesehad to find their level among the Brad-ford prices. Several good standardclips, but with a tendency towards acoarse staple, missed the American de-mand for this reason. The top pricefor American lots was 11-ijd.

A feature of the sale was the demandfor hogget wool, which sold pence

| above "the value of the correspondingfleece wool. Lambs'wool also was in

keen demand, the local mills andFrance being the principal operators.Crossbred hogget sold up to lUd, andlambs'wool to 12*d.

Halfbreds•from Marlborough werewell competed for on a par with De-cemb'er prices, but on the other nanamerino wool was neglected.

Bradford lifted th e balk of the me-

dium and low crossbreds at a full halt-penny advance on December rates.The range for those wools ™sj[£™5d to Bd, but the bulk was sellinground about 6id to 7d.

A PESSIMISTIC VIEW

(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright)(Australian A: N.Z. Cable Association)

.LONDON, January L

Tho Guardian*takes a pessimisticview of tho possibility of enforcingthe reparations. It considers that theendeavours to hold Germany in thral-dom eventually will lead to war, pro-bably th0 same as in Ireland. It be-lieves it will be an encouragement toGermany to increase her exports andcreate a fierce competition betweenEnglish and French manufacturers,which will seriously affect the economiccondition of both countries.

AMERICAN OPINIONNEW YORK, Jan. 31.

The Now York World's Washingtoncorrespondent states that while there isgeneral approval in Congressional circlesof the Allied action in fixing a definitesum for German reparatorm, there isconsiderable dissatisfaction expressedover the levy of twelve per cent, ex-port tax. Politicians profess to be-lieve that this clause means th» tlnitedStates will contribute largely to Ger-many's payment, as the latter is cer-tain to add the tax to the price ofgoods shipped to America.

TRADE RESUMPTION(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association)

LONDON, Feb! 1.According ito n. Moscow wireless

Krassin states that a majority of in-fluential circles in Croat Britain aregreatly in favour of trade with Russia,■especially the co-operatives, who maybe niost profitably used for the sale ofRussian raw materials. The differencesbetween Russia and Great Britain arcdue to the hitter's refusal to guaranteeunconditionally the inviolability ofSoviet property located in Great Bri-tain, also the difficulty regarding theimportation of Russian gold into GreatBritain. Krassin supposed a Treaty be-tween Russia and Great Britain wouldbe concluded and.that America wouldenter into trado relations with theSoviet.

GOLDEN BAY A. &P. SHOWOPENED BY HON. G. J. ANDER-

SON

FINE DISPLAY OF STOCK.

FINE WEATHER AND LARGECROWDS

(From Our Own Reporter.)

Twenty-eight years ago the firstshow of tho Golden Bay A. and P.Association' was held. Starting in asmall way, the show'year by year in-creased in popularity, until to-day it is

recognised as an organisation of whichany district might be proud. Thopeople look forward with a great dealof ploasure to the annua! outing provid-ed by thy show, and enter into therivalry of the competitions with keeninterest. The fertile Takaka Valleylias proved its capacity for growinglirst-class stock and produce, and in

butter particularly the district hasgained a Dominion reputation. Thoannual show held yesterday was fromall points a success. The entries showan increase of 136 over that of lastyear. Particularly in the gtock sectionhas there been a good response; but atailing oil so far a-s numbers is con-

cerned is shown. The judges expressedvery favourable comment on the classof stock shown, the .sheep particularlycoming in for much praise. Altogetherthe district has reason to be proud atthe fine producing qualities of the dis-trict.

The show was formally opened byHon. G. J. Anderson, Minister of In-ternal Affairs. The President of theAssociation, Mr. \V. G. Humphreys,in welcoming the Minister, saxd thedistrict felt it an honour to 'have aMinister of the Crown present. A wel-come was also extended to Mr. R. P.Hudson, member for the district, and.Mr. H. Atmore, M.P. for Nelson. ThePresident also welcomed visitors fromNelson and other parts of the provjnce,and thanked all who had assisted tomake the show a success. He> then,called on Hon. Anderson to declarethe show open.

The Minister first apologised for theabsence of the Prime Minister, whohad fully intended to be present, butbusiness' engagements had _ absolutelyprevented him from attending. Inreferring to conditions generally lir*the Dominion, and the "go-slow"policy, Mr. Anderson said that his ex-perience of farming was that they hadto "go fast" all the time, and if theydid not they would not get anywhere.After expressing pleasure at beingamong the Takaka people, and compli-menting them on the fine display ofstock and produce, the Minister wenton to say that the finances of thecountry were good—certainly betterthan in any other country at the pre-sent time. But there were evidencesof harder times ahead, and the onlyway to meet the situation was to putup <a stiff back, and do their level bestin whatever class of work they mightbe engaged. If they did tliat there wasno cause to foar the future. New Zea-land was a. great country, and the morepeoplo travelled over it the more con-vinced they became that there was noother country on tho face of the earth,to equal it. Referring to the way NewZeaJanders did th*r duty during thewar—a special reference being made totho way the women at home also didtheirs—Mr. Anderson said the Govern-ment did not claim that they weredoing what they would like to for tfcereturned soldier, but they were doingall they could, and whenever thers wasa mistake they would endeavour to putit right. After (referring to the dairyinduetry, which he stated was now onlyin its infancy, and would, he believed,become the greatest one in New Zea-land, the Minister formally declaredth snow open.

In respouse to cries for a speech, MrR. P. Hudson, M.P., stated that thePa'ime Minister had really intended tocome to Takaka, as ho had given him(Mr. Hudson) a personal assurance thathe would. But, unfortunately, impor-tant business had prevented Mr. Masseykeeping his promise. Mr. Hudsonhoped the show would be a success—asa matter of fact it was. It was reallya credit to the province that TakakaShow kept up such a high standard, andwas e«ch an attraction to people fromNelson, Motueka, and other parts of theprovince.

Mr. H. Atmore, M.P., after referringto the doso associations of Nelsftn andTakaka, went on to speak of the woolsituation. There was.no cause to Dedownhearted, as the p'osition Xvas dueto causes which could be readily seenand xenfedied. Imm«diately creditswere extended to "the nations of Cen-tral Europe trade would increase, andthere would be no complaint as to thelow price of wool. He wasVery pleas-ed to be present at the show, and gave:an assurance that anything he could doin collaboration with the member forthe district h e would be heartily pleasedto do so.The formal proceedings then con-

cluded with cheers for the speakers.Everything connected with the work-

ing of the show ran smoothly., Thsjudging was finished in good time, and:the public had not long to wait to seethe results. The secretary (Mr. J.Winter) had a particularly busy time,while the President {Mr. W. G.Humphreys), the committee, and stew-ards, all worked hard. Our representa-tive is particularly indebted to the sec-retary for many courtesies extendedduring the couii'se of the day.

Sir,—l read with considerable inter-est (lie reminiscences supplied to tho.Mail by Mrs. Fairey, «cnr. The notableHappenings ill the early days and ex-periences, of old colonisl* are of generalinterest to many, and particularly toihoso bora in the district and rdat.ee!to the early settlers. Though severalaccounts ()]-' histories of events in theMii'ly days <hav<>. been published iti thepast, manv interesting incidents havebeen omitted. L have often thought itwr.nld be a good thing to get from .some■>f our oldwetllersreliable experiences oflife, etc., in tlie oavly days, and havethem placed on record. I have heardmany deeply interesting, stories, andnave roceived information concerningevents, etc., of the early times which 1ibought worths* of recording. .Amonga number- ~f old settlors 1 well reinem-'.'i- the lato .Messrs John Sharp, K-iUirn, and R. Hyland at various timesrenting interesting stories and experi-ences of Mie early days of Nelson,some of which were well worthy oipublication. It is plated. "The oldCustom House, now occupied by 'MessrsCock and Co., was th e original Wes-t.vuri Church." T have always under-siood that the old Wetjleyau Churchwas a- brick building erected prior toibe old Customs House, but urioii thesame site'. I note that Mrs. Fairoyincidentally lonched nn a very impor-la,nl question, viz., the delay in. push-ing on tlie NeV'on railway 'lo the WestCoast. This, in my opinion, is a vitalmatter, and its -accomplishment, woulddo more to increase th e prosperity ofthe Nelson distinct than anything else.It believed by many that practicallyail railway expenditure* is confined: tothe North Island. There is no donhtthat Nelson has been greatly neglectedin this and other matters in the past.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—"Alls well that ends well.".Your inexplicably funny-man corres-

pondent. "Chanticleer''' has at. lastfrankly admitted that "keeping, fowlsespecially 'roosters' close to dwelling-houses does constitute a real nuis.-a nee." That is jusc what the writerand "Sanitarys Xos. ] and '.V havebeen contending and pleading foramending of by-laws and their enforce-ment to put an end to this nuisanceand danger to public health. So. if"Chanticleer" can endorse our indict-ment of this nuisance, what has hemade all this "pother" about, andmade himself appear so very foolishwith his nonsensical twaddle and hismore thaiv* ridiculous suggestions ofinsane remedies ? Surely we should heable to discuss matters of public in-terest affecting public health and sani-tation, such as must tend to lessenthe risk of epidemics, without suchefforts being held up to ridicule. Sofar as roosters affect the issue in comeested areas the remedy is a very sim-ple one —the whole flock of, uselessand unnecessary roosters sh'ould hoquickly transferred to the Sunday din-ner tables, and thus end this nuis-ance, leaving the keeping of such asMfiv he required to the farmers and

-the breeders. And this would appeart . he what is actually 'being done inmore than one section of the city,where the nuisance lias ceased, ap-parently as a direct outcome of thisdrawing of public and official atten-tion to .this insanitary public nuis-ance.—i am, etc..

'■""HIERE is no cause for panic- amongst Sheep Farmers. Wc are

'merely passing through the transitionperiod. It was inevitable. It will betemporary. Just as soon as Europecan arrange her finances and establishextended Credits, her Brokers willcome into the markets and buy. Thereis no cause for undue alarm. Don tbe frightened by Scaremongers.

The Agriculturist can buy withsafely. It will be yej;rs before Europecan get back to the pre-war standard<:\ production. Meanwhile her millionsmust be led.
