The President- of tho French Republic, to whom ho had shown New Zealand produce, was delighted with it, and astonished with tho price :;t which it coulrl be- obtained. If that could have been followed.up by business dealings, and conditions arranged with France in rogarrl to tariifa on certain articles, it would havo been greatly to New Zealand's advantage.
