CONFERENCE BETWEEN CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE.
The Dunedin " Prices Current" says :—Wo learn that the committee of the Chamber of Commerce will have under consideration at its next meeting the proposal of the Dominion Board of Trade of Canada, that a convention of the representatives of the colonial Chambers of Commerce shall be held in London dnring the current year. For our own part, we feel some doubt whether any practical good to the colonies in this part of the globe will accrue from such a meeting, or from the establishment of an annual conference of a like character, which appears to be contemplated by the Canadian promoters of this movement. The needs of the various groups of British colonies, and the course of their trade, differ so essentially, that it i» hardly likely they will be found prepared for united action upon any one subject. Conferences between representatives of Australasian chambers might, we think, be held with advantage. The forthcoming International Exhibitions to be held in Sydney and Melbourne respectively in 1879 and 1880 offer very suitable opportunity for some such arrangement, and we commend tho subject to the consideration of our own and other chambers.
