CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY CONFERENCE IN ADELAIDE. By Telegraph.— Presi ABaociatioa.—Copyright. ADELAIDE, 12th May. The Chambers of Commerce Conference has adopted a resolution in favour of opening negotiations for trade reciprocity with New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa. The continuation of the Vancouver mail service was urged, with Sydney, Brisbane,, and Melbourne as ports of call. The conference also resolved in favour of the establishment of a complete system of wireless communication particularly along the coast; the joint acquisition and control by the Commonwealth, Canadian, and British Governments of a cable across the Atlantic from Canada to Great Britain; the dissemination of information with a view to opening up new markets for Australian products, and a vigorous State-aided immigration policy. [The proposed State-owned cable across the Atlantic to Canada is (recently declared the Standard of Empire) the necessary complement of the Pacific cable, which was laid eight years ago and runs from Vancouver to Fiji,New Zealand, and Australia. The Governments of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand provided the sum of £2,000,000 required for laying the cable in the yroportionß of five-ninths jointly bubscriued by the Imperial and tho Canadian Governments, one-ninth by Nely Zealand, and the remainder by Australia,. Altogether, the Pacific cable is over "7000 miies long, and contains the longest single span for a submarine cable in existence — that between Vancouver and Fanning Island, which is over 3000 miles in extent. The cable was opened fov public business in December, 1902, and ivince then it has been steadily making iti> woj towards self-support. But it ii recognised that until the section of the wire between j Great Britain and Canada is also State- | owned, no really rapid progress can be made.]
