‘'ln connection with the New ZealandSouth African steamship service, Mr J. G. Gow, New Zealand’s trade representative in South Africa, calls attention, in a report to the Government, to the necessity of making Delagoa Bay a port of call for the delivery of our produce. The Rand trade is fast going in that direction, and the Rand interests are so extensive there that it is not at all likely that the port will be overlooked or allowed to go down. The Transvaal Government will require a certain portion of next year’s oats to be delivered via Delagoa Bay. When he was at the Gape he met Mr Rose, the travelling representative of the New Zealand and South African Shipping Company, and discussed the question of the steamers calling at Delagoa Bay; he fully recognised the importance of the matter, and promised to bring it before the directors.
