The Star Delivered every evening' by 5 o'clock in Hawera, Manaia, Normanby, Okaiawa, Eltham, Mangatoki, Kaponga, Awatuna, Opunake, Otakeho, Manutahi, Alton, Hurleyville, Patea. Waverley. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1913. TRADE WITH CANADA.

Mr W. A. Beddoe, the Canadian Trade Commissioner, has been showing how encouragingly trade continues to grow as between Canada and New Zealand. During the year which ended on the 31st of March, Canada, he says, sold to New Zealand goods to the value of £416,861, while for the same period New Zealand exported to Canada produce to the value of £588,701. New Zealand's exports to Canada, for the June quarter of 1913, he continued, represented a value of £122,951, an increase of £38,650 over the corresponding quarter of last year. For the same quarter the imports from Canada totalled £103,490, an increase of £32,225 when compared with the same period in 1912. The exports of New Zealand meat to Canada for the first eight months of this year were, approximately, 25,750 quarters of beef, 2291 carcases of mutton, and 1554 carcases of veal, this being greatly in excess of the export for the first eight months of last year.. The export of meat to Canada was practically a new business, as far as New Zealand was concerned, and the dimensions the trade had already reached were highly gratifying. For the eight months, 60,000 boxes of butter had been exported to Canada. Here, also, there had been a great increase over the output of the previous year. It was interesting to note (concluded Mr Beddoe) that during 1912 Canada—for the first time in 50 years—shipped no butter to Great Britain. On the other hand, Canada has been an importer of butter for the past 20 years, though it is only lately that she has begun to take supplies of that commodity from New Zealand. This year, however, she will probably take considerably more than she did last year, whilst there is also ground for hoping that the restrictive tariff in the United States will be removed, and this will meani a large outlet for dairy produce in that country, with its vast industrial population. Altogether New Zealand's trade with the American Continent is likely to be on a large scale within very few years.
