With reference to tho proposal to further develop the West of England ports Mr. Lysnar informed the press to-night that ho had received cable advice from Bristol to-day that tho Bristol and Dominions' Producers' Association ha„s been duly registered, and is now in a position to conduct business, also that satisfactory arrangements have been made to ensure advances against any produco that is sent forward under tho scneme. There has, it appears, been further correspondence between Sir Walter Buchanan and Mr. Lysnar with reference to tho reliability of the lattor's statements. Mr. Lysnar wrote to Sir Walter Buchanan ren (firming that tho storage capacity at Bristol was 200,000 carcasses, and stating that if Sir Walter Buchanan could prove him wrong he would retract; otherwise. Sir Walter Buchanan should admit ho was Tight. In a very brief reply Sir Walter Buchanan stated' "that ho had no intention of wasting my time in attempting to correct tho exaggerations which seem to bo inseparable from all your utterances upon tho subject." As Mr. Lysnar sees Sir Walter Buchanan's .remarks to _ho damaging to his scheme ho sent a cablegram to tho Lord Mayor of Bristol asking him to cable out authentically tho actual cold storage capacity of that port. A reply was received by Mr. Lysnar to-day as follows: "Your-state-ment correct. There is now dock and privato storago capacity in Bristol for 200,000 carcasses of mutton; furthor stores now under construction.—Lord Mayor Bristol."
