BUTTER FOR UNITED STATES
PROSPECTS OF N.Z. TRADE. In reference to the attitude of the American Government in regard to importations of butter from Australia and Now Zealand, the Melbourne Argus says: “Although a fair quantity of New Zealand butter and relatively small supplies of Australian butter have at times been shipped to the United States, it is questionable whether the trade will expand to appreciable dimensions, unless it becomes imperative for the United States to draw supplies from abroad. “As tho policy of the United Slates is to conserve its home markets for itself, it could be accepted that, if there were a large increase in shipments, tho tariff would bo adjusted so that it would be practicably impossible for Now Zealand to compete, land the trade would probably come to an abrupt ending. Even with such a valuable customer as Canada, the United States has imposed some astonishing high duties, and, for reasons of its own, the Canadian Government has not retaliated.’’
