OUR EXPORT TRADE.

Last week Mr W. D. Lysnar, of Gisborne, addressed a meeting of farmers and others interested in tho welfare of the Dominion, at Cambridge, upon the question of handling and marketing of produce in London, and the necessity of diverting the same to the west coast of England. There was a fair attendance. Mr Lysnar dealt with the matter at con siderabl length, the meeting lasting for two and three-quarter hours, and clearly demonstrated that the handling of produce at the port of London is not at all what it should be, and that diverting it to Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow would mean an immense saving to the shippers of such and to the producers of the same. The address was illustrated by numerous photographs exhibited by means of a lantern, which greatly impressed those who viewed them of the necessity of the contemplated change being made. That Mr Lysnar's pro jecc met with the approval of his hearers was clearly indicated by a number of them taking shares in the company he proposes to form to carry on the trade in the Old Country via 'the west'cbagt ports."''•' .-■ •■" .■■•*'
