The Australian Press Association interviewed Stir Thomas Mackenzie, who, since the eonl'croncc of the Chambers of Commerce at. Toronto, has visited .Boston and Washington and addressed the Chambers of Commerce in those cities. “The market generally is uncertain,” lie said. “1 will put before flic people on my return to New Zealand the question of whether it would bo better to develop the United States market for primary products, despite the possibility of a high Tariff after (he American elections. or continue the development of the British market. 1 have boon enquiring' into trade possibilities - between New Zealand and the United. States and Canada. I visited the docks here and saw New Zealand meat liein,g discharged in excellent condition, oiu- lamb is much appreciated here, but the mutton is in poor demand. British wholesale lamb prices are now much higher than in HtO United States.” ’ Sir Thomas added that he found the feeling in the United States towards Great Britain far more cordial than lie anticipated. He strongly supported the proposal for the establishment of an International Chamber of Commerce for the exchange and distribution of statistics and information concerning products and commerce. Such a chamber would fill a largo standing need. Sir Thomas Mackenzie loaves for New Zealand on Wednesday.
