TRADE WITH CANADA.
» CANADIAN COMMISSIONER'S VIEWS. B! TELEGRAPH—PRESS AS9OCI/TION. AUCKLAND, March 16. Mr J. S. Lark, Canadian Commissioner, who arrived from Sydney yesterday, has established his headquarters at Sydney, and is now making a tour of the dominion. He leaves for Wellington on Thursday, his business being to promote.trade between Australia, New Zealand and Canada. | In an interview, he said that | Canada was buying New Zealand butter and wool in England, while' New Zealand hemp went to the mills that were nearly all in Eastern Canada, and freight bad to be paid over 4,000 miles of railway, in addition to shipment, mostly by mail steamers to Vancouver. "If we had a line of steamers between Eas-' tern Canada and Australasia," said Mr Lark, "it would give us the third side of the triangle, instead of two sides as at present, as trade has now to be taken to the west." The Canadian, he added, was also a consumer of mutton, butter, and Australian fruit, and largely of onions, in which New Zealand did not now share the trade.
