CANNED WHITEBAIT
TRADE ON WEST COAST. After a lapse of eighteen years, Mr G. A. Wood, Opawa, is. to reopen the whitebait-canning trade on the West Coast, with the intention of exporting to Australia (says a correspondent of a Christchurch paper) . For this purpose he is reeommissioniiig the small steamer Orewa, which has been tied up at Lyttelton for the past two years, and with her ais his fishing base, will establish his faetory at Paringa, about ninety miles south of Hokitika. Mr Wood considers that there is a ;good opening f or the sale of New Zealand canned whitebait in Australia. At present the market there is. being supplied by a Japanese firm, and it has. been a failing trade for some years. He conisiders that his method of canning and preparing the fish is iCionsiderably better than that of the Asiatic firm, and that consequently he should be able to over come the prejudice that at present exists against canned whitebait.
