NEW ZEALANDERS
NEED MACHINERY
Stocks Short in Many Lines
and Costly Imports Must
Continue.

AUCKLAND. Sept. 1.-The foreign trade
Of New Zealand during the first six
months OF 1920 was exceptionally large.
Notwithstanding the fact that exports
fell short of the corresponding period In
1919. The foreign business. including
movements of treasure. totailed S22S,-
S40.0S4. with an actual unfavorable bal
ance OF s6.6S5.606 and an indicated adj
verse balance OF not less than $4,000
600, when the cost of goods at the port
of delivery. including freight. insur-
ance. &C., Is considered, as against the
cost at the port Of embarkation as now
calculated.
This adverse showing was expected on
the part Of the New Zealand Govern
ment and banking interests some months
ago. when warnings were sent out that
it was time to begin to prepare for the
change In trade balances. This warn
ing was accepted by enough Of the busi-
ness and moneyed interests OF the
Dominion to prevent anything like q
money panic. There Is Sound to be a
slowing down along speculative lines.
with the possible exception Of specula-
ton in farm and dairy lands. which has
run riot for the last two or three years.
1t Is not uncommon now to hear Of the
sale of land at $500 and $1,000 an acre.
and from $500 up Is the prevailing price
for land that Is considered above an
average.
There Is little prospect of any material
increase In the volume or value Of ex-
ports during the next six months, while
the Indications are that larger and more
costly importations must continue dur
ing the balance OF the year, II not
longer. In order to meet the demands
and properly normalize the short stocks
on hand in many lines. Much more In
dustrial machinery must be brought Into
the country. as we'll as builders hard
ware, agricultural machinery. fencing
wire, railroad material and rolling stock
and similar lines.
American imports for the first SIX
months of 1920 kept up remarkably well
considering the adverse exchange rate
and the higher tariff paid on most OF
the imports above that paid by the prin-
cipal competitors from the United King
dom and Dominions. 1t Is not expected,
however, that these conditions can be
kept up, but. rather. that the American
totals for the last half of the year Will
decline to some extent, while Great
Britain's share is expected to gradually
increase.
