TRADE WITH CANADA.
NEW ZEALAND’S POSITION. MARKED INCREASE SHOWN. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 12. In spite of adverse conditions, New Zealand’s trade with Canada had shown a further improvement during the past year, said the Alinister of Industries and Commerce (Hon. R. Alasters) in an interview to-day. Exports had increased in value from £244,160 in 1932 to £697,865 in 1934, while imports had increased from £l,007,178 in 1932 to £1,077,764 in 1934. In order of importance the main lines of produce exported to Canada were: AVool, sausage casings, hides, pelts and skins. Proposed regulations governing the grading of hides and skins were expected to result in a further expansion of export trade in these items. The Canadian restrictions had kept the export of butter down to negligible figures, but the apple trade had shown a steady expansion. A trial shipment of lamb had been sent to Canada and it was hoped that this would be the conimenceemnt of a valuable export trade in this commodity.
