AUSTRALIAN TRADE.
PART'S OUTSIDE LONDON. (Received 6, 8.5 a.m.) Sydney, March 6. Mr. Wilson, Trade Commissioner from Hull is greatly struck with the phenomenal progress made by Australian producers, but they must wake up to the fact that another port besides London requires their produce, otherwise the glut v'ould spoil the market. There were 30,000.000 people outside London’s area and distribution could be better and more cheaply accomplished from Hull and other ports. PROSPERITY NOT EPHEMERAL. Mr. Griffiths, giving evidence before the Increased Rents Committee, said that- high rents were chiefly due to the increased price of labour and materials. The present prosperity was not ephemeral, or extravagrant. The products of Australia received world-wide recognition and the Commonwealth was merely beginning to realise a larger share of the general prosperity. There might be modifications of that prosperity, but never anything like the bursting of a land boom.
