TRADE WITH GERMANY.

A New Zealandor, now in London, writing to Mr J. 11. Scott, of Dun-| edin, .states the Otago Daily Times, expresses the opinioit that the new regulations that have been framed in Germany upon the subject of the importation of meat will be of no value to Now Zealand, nor does he expect that the Genuan Governniont will amend them —at any rate for a very long time —so as to permit the foreigner to gain a market in the country. Whilo it would be possible to prepare and dress a few carcases specially in accordance with the German regulations, it would bo impossible to deal iu bulk with carcases in the required manner. If he were to | dress a carcase in such a way as ' would conform with tho regulations a butcher would have to take twice ! the time that is at present given to I tliis operation, and even then, owing to the comparatively .rough handling to which frozen carcases are usually subjected, the internal 'organs* being liard-frozen and brittle, would get broken and the carcases would thus ie rendered unsightly. Mr H. C. Cameron, Produce Commissioner for Now Zealand, has .expressed somewhat similar views in an interview with the British Australasian. "During tho last few years," he said, "the High Commissioner has been doing everything possible to develop trade between New Zealand and Germany, but these regulations, which wo hoped would have been removed, are prohibitive."
