NEW ZEALAND PRODUCE
QUESTION OF FREIGHTS. LONDON, July 19. A meeting yesterday of the committee appointed by the conference which was arranged by Mr Massey between the New Zealand producers and the shipowners exhaustively reviewed the position of shipments and freight generally from both points of view. It was agreed that the questions of freights and cargoes should be again considered by the New Zealand producers not later than the first week of next January. The shipowners expressed their readiness to give every consideration to the position then, irrespective of existing contracts, and with reference to such a reduction in the working cost of the steamers as may then have taken place. It was also agreed that negotiations in regard to a renewal of current contracts should take place at the same time.
