TRADE WITH AMERICA.
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "Chronicle/ )
AUCKLAND, DfecemlLu- 17
After a pleasant of four snonihs to the United States' and Oaaad-i, 'Mr. G. W. S. "Patterson returned to Auckland to-day.. Discussing the trade existing between the United States and New Zealand, Mr. ■>Patterson said that American -manufacturers were inst tkjv so busy supplying Home orders that they had no time to look for ay export trade. He had called on a great many manufacturers, and they all told 'iim they could not entertain any idea of foreign trade owing to prosperity, of their own markets compelling them to work double shifts to keep up with tho demand. Later on, he thought wh-n a slump did come aiong, 1 lot of ir.r»t trade would find its way to New Zealand. The same state of aifairs existed in Canada. America, like ail ether nations, was experiencing an inero^e in the cost of living, continued Mjv^ Patterson. Meat, particularly,. was increasing in price beyond all reason,-and from what he saw he thought there might ibe a chance of the new Wilson administration removing the duty against meat. If it did so, New Zealand would benefit more than any other country.
