NEW ZEALAND GOODS
GROCERY TRADE EXHIBITION t DISPLAY AT MANCHESTER LONDON, April 22 The High Commissioner for New Zealand, Sir James Parr, was prevented by illness from opening the Grocers and Allied Trades' Exhibition at Manchester, at which Australia is also represented. Mr. Sandford, Chief Secretary at the New Zealand Office, on behalf of the High Commissioner, emphasised the value of New Zealand trade to British manufacturers. Mr. Goodson, chairman of the exhibition committee, replied that Britain took 80 per cent of New Zealand's exports. A few years ago it was impossible to buy Australian and New Zealand butter, whereas in the North of England now it was stocked in almost evex-y shop. The exhibition coincides with the arrival of the new Australian dried fruits, which are becoming increasingly popular in the North of England.
