GRADING PRODUCE.
Mr. Coates Stresses Importance To Marketing. U.S. SHIPS IN PACIFIC. (Received 1 p.m.) OTTAWA, August 3. A sub-committee lias been appointed to consider the establishment of the minimum requirements for grading standards of agricultural products. This question was raised by Mr. J. G. Coates, who stressed the importance of promoting uniform grading of exported agricultural products. Mr. Coates emphasised the importance of the quality of a product on the development of the market —not merely the new markets — but in encouraging greater consumption by countries already supplied.
The New Zealand. Government's grading was a substantial help to trade. Inferior products from . other countries only injured the market for everybody, he stated.
Mr. Coates is bringing before the conference the alleged unfair competition of subsidised American steamers, adhering to inferior labour, conditions .in the Pacific trade with New Zealand and Australian ports. A committee, on which Mr. Coates represents New Zealand, is examining the position.
