OREGON PINE.
INCREASED EXFORT TO NEW ZEALAND ANTICIPATED. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, February 26. Mr Charles Cropp, a resident of Washington State, United States of America, is on a visit to Wellington. Mr Cropp is a native of Auckland, and for the past seventeen years he has been connected with a leaiing firm of shipping and- commission agents (Balfour, Guthrie and Co.) at Sacoma, Washington State. The firm deals largely in timber, and one object of Mr Cropp's visit to New Zealand is to inquire into the question of increasing the export of Orego? pine to the.Dominion. Mr Cropp states that nine thousand million feet of pine are sentaway from the Paget Sound and Columbia river districts annually, more than half being U3ed in America. Owing to the demand for the timber the price has gone up over three dollars per 100 feet during the past few months, and it is possible that a further rise will take place. Mr Cropp anticipated a much increased export of Oregon timber to New Zealand and Australia. He will visit Greytown to-morrow and the South early next week.
