Colonial Produce in England.
Tbe co-operative trade delegates arrived early in the past week, and were accorded a welcome by the representatives of the Reception Committes. Mr Jones, at a meeting of the Perishable Products Committee, explained the working of the Society, and gave advice as to the export of Australian products. He advocated central representation of the colonies in London, with branches to the chief provincial towns. They were certain of large markets for Australian apples, frozen rabbits, meat and wheat in England. The Society's annual sales of butter mounted in value to £2,500,000, of which i 1.600,000 worth came from Denmark, Germany and Sweden. One of the chief reasons for the delegates' visit was to see if the greater part of this butter could not be obtained in Australia and New Zealand. If they could get Australian butter as fresh as they obtained that from Denmark, the best Australian brands, they had no hesitation in saying, would turn out superior to the Danish.
