TRADE DEVELOPMENT.
DOMINION’S BUYING POWER ECONOMIC BASIS SOUND. (Peb United Press Association.) AUCKLAND. May Mr R. W. Dalton (formerly British Trade Commissioner in New Zealand, but recently appointed to a corresponding office in Australia), who was a through passenger by tho Makura, said he supposed that New Zealand showed greater individual buying power than any other country in the world. The remark was made apropos of British trade with the overseas dominions At Home the development of trade with tho dominions had been slow and gradual, but still there was a little improvement. It would he noticed that there was a greater tendency to look for new markets and a wish to foster trade with the dominions within the Empire. Mr Dalton put New Zealand’s strength down to the fact that its economic basis was sound. The country was not developing its public utilities ahead of its strength. There were possibilities of the development of New Zealand’s trade with Canada. The grading of New' Zealand butter was so good and its uniformity so consistent that it found a market for that reason apart from its excellent quality.
