Mil MttICE. (Tteccivod this dnv at 1.30 p in 1 VANCOUVER. Jan. 11. Mr Bruce, f t his •own request, spent a large portion of the day tin a trip of inspection of one of the largest logging camps in British Columbia, fifty miles west of Vancouver. He crosses" the Strait of Georgia to-night trvViVtoria, whence he sails to-morrow by the Niagara. A representative of the Associated Fruitgrowers of British Columbia ititerviewed Mr Bruce and said they would like to see Australian fruitgrowers capture the Canadian fruit ■market which is now domiipited by American growers. Growers would al'so like to see an Australian embargo against Canadian apples lifted.

Australia, however, wished to further aiiy scheme to alignment the flow of goods between both countrioK. Representatives of tho Canndian timber trade also waited upon Mr Bruce and iiJfced whether it were possible Rir lAusiraliai to extend preference to Canadian timber. It is understood these were given a simitar rep v as the growers, at the same time it being pointed out that Canada already supplies a large portion of the Australian importation of undressed timber, and an extension of preference would be desirable, if an equivalent advantage could be given Australian products entering Canada.
