EMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND.
Ife is understood that the two shipping companies which practically monopolise the carrying and passenger trade to New Zealand are disposed to co-operate with the Government in offering attractions to men—especially small farmers —with capital to proceed to aud settle in the colony. Some years ago, it may be remembered, a -system prevailed under which emigrants of this[class,; when approved, by.the Agent-General, received assistance towards their passage money to. the extent of .£lO, per adult. We believe Mr Westby Perceval would like to see this revived with certain modifications. • The two shipping companies would . make substantial reductions, if the.
