EXPORT OF OATMEAL.
The Otago Daily Times is informed that a gentleman from Glasgow, largely interested in the oatmeal trade, has with his family taken up his residence in Oamaru, and in conjunction with one of the millers there, is perfecting arrangements for the export of oatmeal on a large scale. Hitherto the experiments made in the way of shipping oatmeal to England have not, we understand, proved very successful, but the partial failure is attributable to imperfect arrangements as to packing, freight, &c. A trial shipment is about being sent at considerable expense by the Orient line, merely as an experiment. If the gentleman in question is ultimately successful in his undertaking, it is likely to add considerably to the trade of Oamaru and and of the Colony generally. A letter from him which has been shown to us concludes with the following judicious remarks: —“ We are all very much pleased with the Colony, and I cannot understand how people coming from the Old Country, if they be rich or poor, can complain of the change they make. If the>-Rre discontented the fault must bq4n themselves and not in the circumstanMs ;by which they are surrounded.”
