It is a wonder, or probably an oversight, that it didn't repeal the alien poll tax as well as the duty on flour. The Board ol Trade spent some time north on the "fencing" question. So be prepared. THE MENACE OF FOREIGN FLOUR. LETTER RECEIVED BY ME VIRTUE, MANAGER MILLING CO., AUCKLAND. FROM MR W. DUNBAR, FLOUR BROKER, HONG KONCI. "10th November, 1916. "I liave just returned from a trip to Japan, where we spent a month pleasantly, and during that time I visited one of tho large flour mills, which turns out 150 tons per day, and is now being increased to 200 tons. It was a modern plant with one American miller in charge, all Ihe work beingdone by natives—and it is well done. The mill had 10,000 ton« of wheat piled up: this wa-n drawn from Japan, Corea, and North China, While the wheat from Japan is email nnd dirty, that from Manchuria. North China, is very fair, and I think in time will make it-self felt in the world's markets. They export now abojt 2,000,000 tons of beans ©very vear: no doubt they will increase their wheat in due time. Japan is now selling flour in London mode from China wheat, and getting £18 per ton for it—not bad for a start." P.S.—Tho freight to London from Japan is between £6 and £' per ton.—P.V. 0.L.2115 A Really Artistic PORTRAIT of Your Friends ia necessary to hand down to posterity. CLIFFORD'S STUDIOS, C&shel street.
