Trade with Brazil.

(To tho Editor.)

•'."7- ■l>oclin,,r tho '111084-0" c' trade with f-.razil that is now being discussed in your columns, as ono avlio has had a recent and prolonged a_-(H*intaneo with that country, I wish to make a few observations. \\ hen I arrived in New Zealand, about a. [ year since, I was at onco struck with tli3 I advantages of a produce trade by -direct { fcteamor to Rio. Few _;b.-.ntrioß can I produce cheaper tlvati A'oW Zealand, and in no country, t can affirm, will somo l-iir's ol Now Zealand pi .x.tt.o I find _ „igher price or a bettor market than '.11 Brazil. With this eomvlciion I wrote to the well-known tirm ot Norton and Megaw, - of Rio do Janeiro, requesting partfct.la**:. iSS ! to tho net- prico and o.\-poiis_n tObl.oCted: with a consignment of N. w. oa-i_(j butter.

I was at Rio, and went aboord tho Doric When sho made hor lirst call thero. T)*e Emperor and a distinguished company also visited hor, and hor frozen freight excited tho astonishmont and admiration of all, and indeed, created quito asmsatiou in Uio.
