Unless Australia establishes reciprocity and a steam service she will make New Zealand a gift of £500,000 in trade on foodstuffs alone. August 2. The Vancouver newspapers po.r.t out that great advantages are likely to accrue here if trade with Australia is fostered. SYDNEY, August 1. Negotiations for reciprocity with Canada have been resumed. Mr Ross, the Canadian Trade Commissioner in Australia, has submitted proposals, and though nothing definite is settled, he is optimistic.
