TRADE WITH THE EAST.
Mr H.E. Pratten, managing director of Taylor Brothers Limited, - jam manufac turers and fruit -preservers, of Svdney. Ho bart, and Brisbane, one of the largest
firms of its class in Australia, has return ed from a few months' trip to the East (remarked The Sydney Daily Telearaph). Mr. Pratten said he took the trip intending to combine business, pleasure, and politics. Such a combination is somewhat out of the common, casual travellers not usually car. ing much to study the politics of the coun- try they visit. Mr. Pratten rather avoid, ed reference to his personal business, ex cept ' to - say that' it 'was' very encouraging, but he said his trip had proved very en joyable, and he had learnt from it many things which had greatly enlarged, if they had not somewhat changed, his political views.. Summing up the prospects of Aus tralian trade with the East, Mr Pratten said he anticipated a.' good market in Japan for various kinds of raw material, such as wool, wheat, leather. tallow. &c, which, on account of the limited area, and the character of the country; could not be locally produced in sufficient quantities.
