A VISITOR'S IMPRESSIONS OF NEW ZEALAND. [PREES ASSOCIATION.] Sydney, 20th December.
Mr. J . S. Larke, agent for the Canadian Government in Sydney, when interviewed with reference to his visit to New Zealand, said he considered New Zealand had a great trading future before it. Trade, he said.was improving, and the Government, in putting the lands into the hands of small farmers, was leading to what were before merely pastoral areas being devoted to agriculture. He was struck with the great capabilities of New Zealand as a. fruit-growing colony. He thought the colony appeared generally prosperous, and there was no sign of people out of work. All the factories were very busy, and the mining industry was largely developing. Business men showed a great desire to cultivate trade with Canada, as part of the Imperial trade policy. He* had heard concern expressed on behalf of capital in regard to the radical trend of the legislation, but, so far as was visible, there was nothing apparent resulting from the legislation likely to injure the growth of New Zealand.
