Re: Early New Zealand Silversmiths
REPORTS FROM THE CONSULS OF THE UNITED STATES IN ANSWER TO INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE
At the request of a Massachusetts firm, a Department instruction was sent, under date of January 16, 1902, to the consular officers of the United States, directing them to report in regard to the trade in foreign countries in silverware and plated ware, and especially as to the possible market for articles of American manufacture. Special information was asked as to the consumption of such goods in the respective consular districts; the extent of local manufacture; the importation from foreign countries as well as from the United States; the tariff on silver and plated goods; the obstacles to the extension of American trade in this line, if any existed; the proper methods of packing, etc.
The answers follow:
NEW ZEALAND
I am officially informed that it is impossible to say just what the consumption of silver and plated ware in this colony is. It is, approximately speaking, about £35,000 ($168,328) per annum. Very little silver and plated ware is manufactured in the colony; so little, in fact, that no figures regarding the same can be obtained. The importation into the colony for the last year was valued at £36,812 ($179,145), £3,608 ($17,558) worth of which came from the United States. There is a 20 per cent ad valorem tariff on these goods.

CHARLES M'KAY
Dunedin
A SEQUEL TO THE GLASGOW BANK FAILURE
A Dunedin (New Zealand) paper states that an enquiry was held there on July 9th, by the city coroner, into the circumstances attending the death of Charles M'Kay, a new arrival, who was supposed to have committed suicide. He had been a jeweller in Edinburgh, he there failed for £68,000, a few months ago, owing to the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank and paid 15s.. in the pound. His chief creditors were his uncle and his father-in-law, and by their advice he went out to Dunedin, they promising assistance if he succeeded. Dr. Burns deposed that all he knew of decreased was that he formed one of the new arrivals who had been drinking hard since he came to the colony. When he called on deceased he found from appearance that he was suffering from opium poison. The jury returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity."
