CANADIAN TIMBER
FRESH MARKETS. SOUGHT. (United Service.). : (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) MONTREAL, November 8. An Ottawa dispatch to the Gazette says: The Minister for Trade, Mr Malcolm, will leave Vancouver next week to examine the possibilities of a direct steamship service between Western Canada, Australian and New Zealand, and also to examine the advisability of subsidising a service to the West Coast of South America. It is believed that trade with these countries will be substantially increased. The British Columbia lumber merchants feel that they could secure a larger share of the Australian business if the Canadian Colonial Steamships would restore a direct service, as formerly given between Vancouver and the Antipodes, especially as ; there is a possibility of the trade agreement between Canada and Australia being extended. At the present time, the lumber interests in Washington, Oregon and California States have an advantage over the British Columbia lumber men by reason of a better steamship service and the Australian tariff, which favours the redwoods of California against British Columbia cedar.
