FROZEN MEAT TRADE.

SIR THOMAS MACKENZIE'S VIEVVS. Br Telep«ph.—Pre«s Aijn.—Copyright. New York, Oct. 11. The Australian Press Association interviewed Sir Thomas Mackenzie, who, [ since the conference of Chambers of Commerce at Toronto, has visited Boston and Washington and addressed the chambers of commerce of those cities. "The market generally is uncertain," he said, "I will put before the people upon my return to New Zealand whether it is better to develop the United States market for primary products, despite a possibly high tariff after the American election, or continue the development of the British market. I have been inquiring into trade possibilities between New Zealand and the United States and Canada. 1 visited the docks here and saw New Zealand meat discharged in excellent condition. Our lamb is much appreciated here. Mutton is in poor demand. The British wholesale lamb prices are now much higher than those in the United States." Sir Thomas said that lie found feeling hi the United States towards Britain far more cordial than he anticipated. He strongly supported Nesborough Hob son's proposal for the establishment of an international chamber of commerce for exchange and the distribution of statistics and information concerning products and commerce. Such a chamber would fill a long-stand-ing need. Sir Thomas M&eketusie leaves for New Zealand on Wednesday.-Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
