FINANCIAL RESULTS.

On the Budget being re-introduced Mr Lloyd George stated that 22 per cent, less whisky had been consumed since the original introduction of the Budget. After reviewing the revenues which he expected to collecte, he concluded by that there would be a surplus of £2,963,000, which, had the Budget been paased, would have reached £4,200,000. Mr Austen Chamberlain stated that the figures reflected great credit on the Chancellor's advisers, and the traders who had protected the course of trade, and prevented damaging fluctuations.
