GOOD FOR TRADE.
The importance of the American market for the New Zealand Hemp trade has before now been poiftted out, and it is most encouraging to find that the Americans are as much interested in that fibre as we are. Tv a telegram received from Auckland the nows is given that " Under the recent - decision of the United States Treasury,* New Zealand flax will henceforth' be c'assed as sisal grasses, and the American import duty will thus be 15 dollars, per ton of 20001 b, instead of 20 dollars as here ofore," thus giving our millers an extra twenty shillings per ton. To the district around Foxton this means ' a present from our cousins o ver the sea of £ 1 6, 000* a year.
