TRADE WITH JAPAN.
PROPOSED STEAMER SERVICE. By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, July 10. Possibilities of development of the export trade of the Dominion are foreshadowed by an announcement that the Osaka Shosen Kaisha Shipping Line, of Japan, is seriously contemplating the establishment of a regular service between Melbourne and New Zealand, as an extension of the existing service between Japan and Eastern Australian ports.
A statement to this effect is contained in a letter received by Dr. Neale, secretary of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, from Mr L. J. Schmitt, New Zealand Government representative in Sydney. In his letter, Mr Schmitt said the proposed service would be from Melbourne to the chief New Zealand ports. Auckland would be the final port of call, and steamers would leave Auckland for Sydney. Although this was not exactly what was designed by Auckland merchants, it would create a certain regular service which might tend towards the improvement of other services.
