THE EASTERN MARKET.
The possibility of better trade with Japan has up again by the'news'that a Japanese shipping Hne 4s contemplating an extension of its- Australian service to New Zealand. The more we increase our production —and it is steadily growing—the greater will be the need for finding fresh markets. In Japan and the East there are- markets of infinite possibilities. At present, however, our trade with Japan: is, with the exception "**£ wool, well-nigh negligible. In 1927. Japan took £150,000; worth of our wool,; and the next item was casein, £44#00. In 1928, the wool export rose to £588,000, but the next figure was £45,000. There, have been inquiries for goods other than the four classes that make up the total of £658,000, and one would, expect there to be quite a good market for many lines.. The chief obstacle'in the .way is freight charges, but it is hoped that the establishment of a direct service between New Zealand and Japan will reduce these. The opportunity presented by this proposed Japanese shipping extension is well worth seizing.
