Wellington Chamber of Commerce.
(Per Press Association). Wellington, February 28. At the annual meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce to-night, the President (Mr Jas. McLellan) strongly urged that new markets should be found for our products, and hoped that the Government would do more in this direction. China, Japan, India and Canada should be looked to for markets. On the subject of depression, he said, there was a feeliDg that the bulk of the legislation passed during the last few jears had been inimical to the general interests of the colony, its workers and producers. Still the condition of New Zea landers was less unfavorable that of some of the neighboring colonies and a substantial increase was being made in the wealth-producing power of the colony by opening up and the settlement of new lands and the development of industries. He expressed satisfaction in the action of the Government in refusing to relax the conditions of the Dairy Industry Act Carelessness in the manufacture and export had affected the position of New Zealand butter on the Home market.
