TRADE IN THE PACIFIC.
SYDNEY, March 18. A firm of Island traders in Sydney has written to the Australian Prenyer, Mr Deakin, urging that the proposal for increasing the present New, Hebrides shipping subsidy would be hurtful to British interests by building up a monopoly, and would in no wise counteract Erenoh influence.
