Report On Trade Conditions In Australasia

Excerpt from The Trade and Industry of Australasia: Being a Report on the State of and Openings for Trade, and the Condition of Local Industries, in Australia and New Zealand T is a pleasant though arduous task to report on the condition and prospects of trade in Australia and New Zealand, when those countries are not only themselves in a flourishing condition, but when their industrial future is so full of promise as at the present time. There is solid prosperity in both countries. Exports and imports are increasing; local industries are steadily growing; and the high character of the products and the excellent work turned out of the factories are all evi deuces of the existence of a high standard of labour. Then I found practically no unemployed, and a social and intellectual condition prevailing amongst the working classes that was quite refreshing after a close acquaintance with the evils that exist in our own country, largely through congestion and unrestricted competition.
