Sno\vden>-American Trade Commissioners, arrived from Sydney today by the Riverina. • The Commission is sending three or four months investigating tho commercial and industrial conditions in Australasia with a view to promoting closer business relations between Australasia and the United States; also to examining Australasian legislation affecting them, with the idea of advocating the adoption of such laws as would seem advantageous to American industry.
