REDUCTION IN FREIGHTS.
Among the prospects for 1913 the New Zealand producer may, it appears, reasonably include the possibility of a reduction in freights on produce carried to the. British markets. The recent tendency Ims been decidedly upward due to the growth of trade between distant countries "\-_ ceoding the growth of available shipping. For Australia and New Zealand there, seems to be some ground to anticipate that this condition will be reversed in the year iust born. According to Mr Austin Wilson, Special Trade Commissioner nf the port of Hull, a keener rivaJn- for the carrying trade of Australia and New Zealand is imminent. Mail contracts are falling out and in spite of tho
wise,-.with which freights can be seed t&l'in other parts of the world it is only reasonable fe» expect that shipping, lines hithorto excluded from the profitable, long-distance, trade of Australia and New Zealand will readily seize on an opportune time to hid for a share in a trade which is not for to-day but for the years to come, and which is certain to show enormous oxpansion.
