NEW MARKETS.

Mr T. de Schrvyer, honorary representative of the Canadian ilanufacturers' Association, which has its headquarters at. Toronto, has iust visited Wellington. This association is a very important organisation, whose influence extends throughout Canada. In an interview with a New Zealand Times reporter, Mr Schrvyer said he thought there were very good opportunities for trade between Canada and New Zealand. "For instance," said he, "you make wonderfully good tweeds and blankets in this country, and I do not see why you should not find an excellent market for those goods in Canada. The imports from Canada to New Zealand are increasing every year, and to get space in any of the ships going to Vancouver you must get it six weeks in advance. This shows that the market is all right here for Canadian goods, and why ought there not to be an exchange of goods between the two countries! Potted cheese is one article I might name. Agencies are being established in New Zealand for that article, which is made up in Canada in first-class style. But if the New Zealander is able "to have Canadian cheese upon his breakfast table, he ought to reciprocate, and send some of his New Zealand cheese to Canada. There are plenty of people who would pay whatever he asked, just for the novelty of eating cheese from New Zealand, tiud once the article gets its name its future is assured. Then in regard to wool, I may say that large quantities of that product are imported into Canada from Australia, to be manufactured into carpets or clothing. New Zealand wool, therefore, would find a ready market in Canada, He believed there would be a market in Canada for New Zealand fruit in the off season there, gum or flax. Mr Schrvyer is fully impressed with the benefits of an Imperial Zollverein, and states that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is quite willing to impose differential rates in favor of Australasia at the earliest possible moment. Mr Schrvyer brings with him many samples which show the wide range of Canadian industry. In that country there are manufactured excellent carpets from wool imported from Australia, and he has also silverware jewellery, enamelled ware, furniture and tweed all made in Canada.
