CANADIAN TIMBER.

EXPORT TO NEW ZEALAND.

WHY IT HAS FAILED

By Cable.—Press Association. —Covy right. May 5. Canadian lumber exporters assert that the reason why exporters in the United States rdisplaced them, in the Australasian markets is because Canadian lumber boats bring no retuxu C»'go from Australia- Lumber boats from San Francisco return laden "with > coal; consequently the trade is profitable. The establishment of a CanadianAustralian freight service would enable British- Columbian lumbermen to expand their trade enormously. New Zealand importers have recognised the superiority of the Canadian product. The lack of accommodation for lumber on board passenger liners is also complained of.
