The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 76

British Columbia

British Columbia.

At the special invitation of Mr. G. A. Kirk, President of the Board of Trade at Victoria, B.C., I addressed a full attendance of members at the quarterly meeting of that institution. I set forth certain facts and figures concerning the imports and exports of New Zealand. At the conclusion of my address a long discussion followed, with the result that several merchants promised definite orders for New Zealand produce. The Chairman was good enough to convey to me a special vote of thanks from the members of the Board, as per letter attached.

The several interviews I had with many of the merchants and brokers, both here and at Vancouver, demonstrated the fact that there was an excellent market for New Zealand binder-twine, kauri-gum, tinned meats, frozen meat, butter, seed oats, cocksfoot, and other grass-seeds.
