THE ARGENTINE.

VIEWS OF A NEW 2EALANDER.

Per Press Association.

Wellington, May 0. | Mr. E. Ilaydon, who resided formerly in Canterbury and latterly has been settled in Argentine, is on a visit to tlu; colony. He speaks in high terms of the stride?? made in developing the country, especially of endeavors to improve llocks. Jn the last six months of liHiii, no less than 3700 stud sheep, besides 1 horses, cattle and pigs, were imported. Sixteen companies run railways, some of them owning over 2000 miles each. Their sheep trucks are convertible into cattle trucks at will, and are loaded at the ends, and not at the sides, which he considers an improvement on usual methods. Referring to the Argentine country, his appreciation of its advantages . was tempered by the very decisive statement that "The Argentine is a capitalists' country." •"There is very little use of a man going there unless he has at

least CoOOO. Labor is cheap, living is dear, and taxes are low." Discussing (he frozen meat trade, Mr. liaydon said Argentine still goes in for Lincoln sheep instead of a smaller and more compact, carcase, and it is questionable whether alfalfa can produce that, fine llavor whi<-h the natural and acclimatised grasses of New Zealand do. lie had little doubt that the Argentine, in a few years, will be able to glut the markets, so far as quantities are concerned, but she will never beat New Zealand as regards quality. As a natural consequence, New Zealand will always be able to hold her own iu the matter of prices.
