TRADE WITH CANADA.
Per Press Association. Auckland, March 16. Mr J. S. Lark, the Canadian Commissioner, who arrived from •Sydney yesterday, has established his headquarters in Sydney and is now making a tour of the Dominion, He leaves for Wellington on Thursday. His next business is to promote trade between Australia, New Zealand and Canada. He said Canada was buying New Zealand butter and wool in England while New Zealand hemp went to mills that were nearly all in Eastern Canada and had to pay freight over 4000 miles of railway as well as shipment mostly by mail steamers to Vancouver. If we had a line of steamers between Eastern Canada and Australasia it would give us the third side of a triangle instead of the two sides trade has now to take. West Canada was also a consumer of mutton, butter, Australian fruit and largely onions, in which New Zealand did not now share.
