A New Wool Export Trade.

Mr J. D. Connolly, the Consul in New Zealand for the United States, is at present in Wellington on -business connected with the Consul tate. Speaking to a representative of the Times, Mr Connolly dwelt with earnestness on the immense ad van » tage which may be gained by New Z.-Miind if prompt advantage is taken of the opportunity now offered by the free admission of wool into the United States. This undoubtedly means, he says, a great thing for the Colony. For years the wool brought into America has been imported fron^jfcheT Argentine and Australia by wfty^elLondon, and naturally enough, only the inferior wools have reached the United States, the beavy tariff, rates keeping the better article out of the market. His advice to New Zealand wool«growers, however, is that they should send without delay to. the United States a shipment of the best wool obtainable, under the charge of a capable agent who will introduce it to the American markets and push its sale. If the wool is good it will Very soon attract the attention of buy erg, and at once an immense market will be gained for the best New Zealand's staple products. The United States Consul suggests that in recognition of this significant change in the American tariff, the New Zealand Government should admit duty free some particular elass of goods manufactured in America and in use here. He has written to the Premier pointing this out', and suggesting that agricultural implements might be admitted in this way.
