Here are a few examples of Government trading revealed by a Blue Book issued recently, says a home paper

Loss of 20148,000 on cattle feeding stuffs 'due to “a lamentable lack of precision.” Loss of £902,606 ou dried traits... Bad debts of 200,000 for Frozen ments

The full story is told in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on trading or commercial services conducted by Government Departments during the period ended March 31st, 1921.

The loss on, farm settlements includes £32,237 on the Pembrey Battlement, while though the Bosbury Settlement war ralped at £16,050 when transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture," and £23,070 had been expended on the estate, its valus in the open micket when completely equipped is, in the opinion of the Ministry's prințipal valuer, £24,500.

STUD FARM MISMANAGEMENT.

With reference to the National Stud Farm at Tully, it is stated that an in- dependent valuer had valued the "stock at 294,400, whereas the "book" value as shown in the acconit, was only £29,026. Eleven yearlings, sold for £75,000 at Newmarket, stood in the books at only £5,000.

The loss on Chinese bacon and lard arose through the payment of 40 per

box instead of £80, an oversight on the part of two officers who are no longer at the Board of Trade. The department is taking atopa to recover the excess payment

Regarding the write-off of the loss of £148,000 on cattle-feeding stuff, the Treasury state:

The proceedings showed a lamentable lack of precision, for which it is impossible to relieve the officers of the Ministry of Food of responsibilly.

A further loss of £122,000 on conserved cattle feeding stuffs in attributed to the failure of the administrative officer con cerned to pass on to the consumer, the charges incurred for storage and transport. DETERIORATION OF CURRANTS,

The accounts of the dried fruit section for re-control currants show a loss of £962,506 qi stocks valued at £1,819,767,

The reasons given for this loss were that. the season was wet, that the packing of the currants in canvas bags allowed them to be crushed, and that deterioration was aggravated by unavoidable delay in un- loading.

While a profit of £3,000,000 was made on Australasian' meat in 1919-20, during 1920-21, there was a loss of a correspond. ing amount, “due partly to the low prices actually realised for the stock,"

The first account for the Harrow Pria- ting Works, covering a period of nine and a half months only, shows a trading Toes of 232,839.
