EXPORT OF NEW ZEALAND TIMBRS.
(BY TELEGRAPH.-FRK3S ASSOCIATION). Wellington, Last Night. The Government are calling for one hunt dred thousand feet each of rimu, red birch, tnatai, kauri and silver pine for shipment to England. They will make all arrangements for Mr Freyberg to take charge of the woods on arrival in England and conduct the sales there, as the object is to see whether the trade can be made profitable. The prices must not be excessive. The Westland millers have agreed to find one hundred thousand feet.
In the circular issued by the Government to the timber traders they are given fourteen days for reply, and the date on which the timber is to be delivered must be stated. It is desired to take immediate advantage of the demand for paving timber. It is anticipated there may be some difficulty in the way of obtaining freight space, but it is hoped this may be overcome.
