CHRISTCHURCH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
(united press association.) •Christchurch, November 25.
At the quarterly meeting of the Chamber X)f Commerce to-day, the President (Mr J. •Gould) in his address referred to the fact .that although there was a market at Fiji for •our products, very little is Bent there. The Fiji butter, cheese, hams, and bacon, all come from Europe, and potatoes, beer, and .horse-feed, from Sydney; yet they could, all be supplied cheaper from New Zealand. The Committee had not seen their way to con.tribute the sum asked for the proposed wool and grain shows. As it had suggested that dt would he advantageous to the mercantile community, and would extend the usefulness of the Chamber if Exchange meetings were held, he moved in that direction. It was re.solved that it was desirable that change meetings be held daily*
