SIR THOMAS MACKENZIE'S SUCCESSOR. Au6tralian-Now Zealand Cable Association. (Reo. September 20,-5.35 p.m.) London, September 19:The announcement that Sir Thomas Mackenzie's extension of his term of ofiice has expired has created speculation in Anglo-New Zealand circles as to. his possible successor..

It is pointed out that the main concern of Now Zealand after the war will be the development of trade, extending her markets, seizing new ones, tho picking lip of disjointed commercial connections, and reporting on questions offinance and reorganisation.
