TRADE RECIPROCITY.

Dusedin, Yesterday. At the quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to-day, Mr R. Gillies

moved—“ That the Government of New Zealand be respectfully urged to taae such steps as it may deem necessary for extending to this colony the provisional agreement entered into between the representatives of Victoria and Tasmania for establishing a reciprocity of trade between those colonies, by which natural products and articles of a purely colonial manufacture will be admitted into either colony free from Customs duties,” During the discussion the Hon T. Dick said he spoke at a conference of intercolonial representatives in favor of exchanging our cereals for some other articles. He suggested that we should take Victorian wines, but Mr Berry wanted a few boots and shoes thrown in. (Laughter). He was afraid we would find ourselves overmatched if wo

tried to make a bargain with. Victoria at the present time, unless we could getNewSouth Wales and South Australia along with us. It was eventually decided to adjourn the discussion for a month. A sub-Oommittee on the currency and banking question repotted—That the present internal circulation is not in a condition to conduce to the prosperity of the colony or aid iq the development of its resources, and this Committee therefore recointnends the Chamber to memorialise the Government in order that a Parliamentary Committee may be appointed to investigate the whole subject of the currency, aud the practice of banking within the colony. ” Mr Bathgate wished this carried as a resolution, but the feeling of the meeting was against \ the first clause, and the motion was carried simply to memorialise the Government for the enquiry.
