Unless it can be turned ont at a price really competitive with the quotations of foreign makers the prospect. is not encouraging. The loss of a few such orders, either in dock appliances, or machinery, or railway material, would soon mean a decline of industry from the high level it has maintained during the past half-year, So far, however, despite the increased expense of production and contract getting obstacles, there is no lack of work in the cotton mills, the engineer ing shops. and other industries, though builders and repairers of merchant vessels assert that the demand for new craft is not quite so keen,

From these arteries there will bon network of branch roads, and two parks, one sixty acres and the other cifre provided. for.

The cost of the scheme, would ha considerable.
On the industrial side, it is significant that during the half-year, though wages have ever been better of work to abundant, there has been a steady outgo of skilled hands from England and Scotland to Canada, Australia, New Zea land, and Africa, The emigration of these men cannot be otherwise than an advantage to the Colonies, for in the main they are skilled handicraftmen and thrifty; but the denuding of the work shops of British firms of many of their best hands has been a source of dis quietude. The withdrawal of these hands, however, especially from the watercourses, intersect the district, engineering shops, has, in the majority of and afford the only means of access to instances, been followed by shrewd read many private houses and to groups of justinent, inasmuch as in most of the big congested and insanitary dwellings; and works there are groups of well-educated under such conditions buildings are ying engineers in training, and capable rapidly springing up without regard to taking on responsible work.

There has, oven in the past half-year, been considerable extension of Eritish trade abroad and in the Colonies, not paly because British anufacturers, merchants, and. Shippers have given more direct attention to distant markets, but because of the great developments in industry and trade initiated and fostered in many instances by British capital in nearly every land.
