812 APPENDIX. (iv.) Agricultural Credits Act No. 40 of 1926 which makes provision for granting credits also for the disposal of Crops. B. Municipal MARKETS. Municipal markets in South Africa are under the direct control of Municipalities to whom the monopoly has been granted under various Provincial Ordinances. Market Regulations are, however, submitted “to the Provincial Administration for approval. The markets are under the supervision of Market Committees of Town Councillors—appointed annually. The Market Master is the business manager bound down by rules and regulations and the whims of the Council. In the majority of cases Market Masters also undertake agency services in their official capacity. This system has been more tully developed in the case of the Durban Borough Market where the Market Master exercises a monopoly of agency business. The private market agent is not recognised, and producers selling through them are penalised with a hich commission. These markets serve as a source of general revenue for the Municipalities concerned. Port Elizabeth Wool Market. A feature of South African wool marketing is the successful system of catalogue sales held regularly by the Municipality of Port Elizabeth. C. Maize aNp PrrisHaBne Propucts. The Government Grain Elevator System has already in its first year of its operation proved of vital importance in the marketing of maize and the success of the first year’s operations has justified an extension of the system. Elevator receipts are issued by the Elevator authorities against which the banks are prepared to make advances to the holders. D. CoLDp STORAGE. The new Government cooling plant erected by the Railway and Harbour Administration in Table Bay Docks is the dawn of a new era in the marketing (especially export) of perishable products. 5 THE CONTROL OF THE NATIVE COTTON INDUSTRY AND HOW FAR THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE FOR SUCH CONTROL, IN THE SEVERAL COUNTRIES REPRESENTED ARE PRACTICAL AND ADEQUATE.
