REMOVAL OF TARIFF BAR.
GOOD PROSPECTS FOR NEW ZEALAND. AUCKLAND. July 29. The removal of the tariff bar which has been maintained by the United States against meat products will probably have an important effect upon the frozen moat industry of New Zealand. An official inspection of the frozen meat industry in the dominion is to be made on behalf of the Government of the United States by Dr A. D. Melville, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry in the United States. Advice of Dr Melville’s visit has been received by Mr W. A. Prickett (Consul General for United States), and the Prime Minister has informed Mr Prickett that every facility will bo granted to Dr Melville to obtain the information he requires. •Dr Melville will leave Washington for the dominion in about a fortnight. The prospect of developing a trade in frozen meat with the United States is described las promising by Mr Alexander Lucas, a member of the Canadian Royal Commission on Agriculture, who arrived in Auckland to-day. He mentioned that of a recent shipment of 1200 tons of frozen mutton from New Zealand to Vancouver 600 tons were immediately transported to Seattle, in the State of Washington.
