RECIPROCITY.
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. Melbourne, Oct. 9. The negotiations with the Dominion of New Zealand in the dircetion of tariff- reciprocity, which have proceeded in a desultory fashion, from time to time, seem likely to be renewed. Sir Joseph Ward, Prime Minister of New Zealand, stated the other day, in reply to a question .n ll.r Dominion Parliament, tb-if he was prepared to grant to the Commonwealth the same preference as existed between New Zealand and South Africa.
The Minister for Customs, Mr. Timor, says he had written to ire Now Zealand Government, and v-r> ascertaining the precise terms of ihe ? angement between South Afi-'cn and New Zealand Reciprocity between these two Dominions embraces only wines and one or two other small items, the trade in which is inconsiderable. The broader question of a general reciprocity treaty is likely to be discussed between the Governments, as it is known that the feeling of the Commonwealth Ministers is m favour of laying a broad basis for closer relations with New Zealand, rather than introducing partial and unimportant measures of preference. It is ’understood also thaty the Prime Minister. Mr. Fisher, is likely to renew reciprocity negotiations with Canada at an early date.
