Trade with South Africa.
Mr Gow, commission agent for New Zealand in South Africa, has for warded a report to the Department of Industries and Commerce. The following extracts are taken from his communication “ I have just cabled for quotations for 10,000 four and six tooth merino ewes, and I sincerely trust that dealers in New Zealand will quote prices likely to tempt buyers to try our stock, for there is a very fine field here for good animals. It will be useless to quote fancy prices, for Afr can buyers are keen business men, and they cable for quotations all over the world. Consequent < n tho doplnion of loenl supplies the Government stopped oyst-r fishing in Natal. Very f mall ones ar e sold in the shops at Capetown at 2s a. dozen. In fruit wo must not allow the previous experiment to in any . way discourage us. All depends upoa the quality. Nothing but choicest fruit must lie shipped, and in packing apples care must be taken to wrap each one in paper. Australia is sending 5000 cases of apples monthly. The wholesale prieo here is from 5s to 7s a case. The size should be uniform. Small ones aro of no use whatever,” »
