Large Veneer Trade Possible
IT is reported by the “Fiji Times” that an arrangement has been completed between the Fiji Timber and Land Co. (owned mostly in Auckland) and Mr.
L. Gumming, representing Australian timber interests, under which large quantities of Fiji logs will be shipped from Fiji to Sydney.
Tests made recently in Sydney show that this Fiji timber is very suitable for veneer work and it is expected, if transport difficulties can be overcome, that a large trade will develop. Present freight rates are regarded as excessive and an attempt is being made to put them on a better basis.
