MALAYAN POSSIBILITIES.
COLD STORAGE AVAILABLE. SHIPPING THE' DIFFICULTY. [BY telegraph.— correspondent.] WELLINGTON. Wednesday. At a meeting of the Dominion executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union to-day a letter was received from the Registrar of Imports and Exports ati Singapore as to the possibilities of the sale of New Zealand . produce at Singapore. Considerable trade,, he said, was carried on between Australia and British Malaya in frozen meat, hams and bacon, butter and cheese. ; There were no direct shipping facilities from New Zealand to the Straits Settlements, and if wholesale prices were the same in New Zealand as in Australia, and goods had to be 1 shipped via Australia, it' was probable extra freight would render business impossible. - : There was, as- fa"r as he could ascertain, apparently sufficient cold storage accommodation on ■ the premises ''of Singapore Cold Storage Co., Ltd., for the requirements of the port for the next few years.'
