Trade With Africa.

(N Z Times)

It is the opinion of one or two leading merchants in Wellington that the Govern* merit will nob get a single tender front steamship owners for the proposed Sooth African service. It seems to be the prevailing impression that the proposed subsidy is too low for the class or service required. There Is a growing feeling amongst business men also that tlie trade with South Africa will not, after all. amount to much. There is no evident desire on the part of the colony's producers to consign to the Cape at their own risk, and the merchants and shippers will, naturally, be somewhat chary of taking liberties with an unknown quantity like the South African market. Further, business men are .beginning to ask them selves whether there will really be available a regular supply of NewZatland produce for the exploitation of this new market; and the opinion is growing that there will not.

Talking to a Times reporter recently, a city man said : l My opinion In that the Government would be well advised If, instead of spending money in subsidising steamers for the South African trade, it devisod some means by a system of bonuses or otherwise of encouraging our sheep farmers and butter makers to continue to Improve our export material. The market for our pro duce is the London market. It is doubtful if South Africa will provide a permanent outlet at maximum prices for the quality of material which we produce. On the other hand, the rush which is being made by our trade rivals to force themselves into South Africa will pro bably ease the London market to some slight extent. If our people will remem ber—and if our Government will encour age them to remember—that there Is I always room at the top we shall always have an assured market In London, especially if Mr Seddon manages to bring off his preferential tariff proposals. Ido not think the South African market is now all It id cracked up to be, except for certain capitalistic adopts In exploitation. Farther than that, I am po itive that immediately the war is over there will be an enormous development in the Immense agricultural and pastoral districts of South Africa, with the result that before many years are past the people will become exporters instead of remaining importers. That is why I say there is nothing in it for New Zealand/

The New Cup Challenger.

William Fife, of Faillie, on the Clyde, is to build Sir TLomas Lipton's next challenger for the America Cup. At a conference between Sir Thomas and his advisers this was agreed upon, and an order for the bhamrock 111 was given and accepted by Mr Fife. In view of a probable big revival In British yachting, and the fact that the designing, superin tending and construction of the cup challenger means constant work for at least a year, Mr Fife was disinclined to acoept the contract, but was persuaded by Sir'l nomas. MrGetrgeN Watson has premised to assist Mr Fife by handing overall details of !the construction of Shamrock 11, Shamrock 111. Is to be ready early in the spring of 1903,
