EXPORT OF VENISON.
PIONEERING A MARKET.
TRIAL SHIPMENT TO AMERICA. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ■WELLINGTON. Wednesday. After overcoming many difficulties, Mr. R. Philp, of Wellington, who is pioneering an export trade in deer meat, has succeeded in getting away a trial *shipment to a New York firm, whose report thereori is to* arrive shortly. If, as a result of this practical trial, the American house is able to quote a firm price for a substantial shipment, 1 Mr. Philp states that he will have something definite to work on at the selling end of the business. He explained that even when He knew that a satisfactory price was awaiting him.overseas he would still have to face the problem of organising a sufficient supply of deer meat at a cost that would leave a small margin of profit. " I am confident," he said, "that I can hunt, kill, transport, freeze and ship high-quality deer meat at a cost that will leave a. small, margin under the prices ruling overseas. I have now inquiries, not only from America, but also frojn England, Singapore and other, places."
