BIG IMPORTATIONS.
♦ NEW SEASON'S GOODS ARRIVING. JUMP IN CUSTOMS RECEIPTS. Fairly heavy importations, chiefly of new season's drapery goods, by the lonic, have had the effect of sending the amount received .in Customs duties at Christchurch during the second period of the present month—Bth to 15th —to a figure that constitutes a record for any single period since 1921. For the second period this month the Customs duties collected at Christchurch totalled, in round figures, £39,000. The record for any single period was collected in the third period of September, 1921, just prior to the introduction of the new tariff, when there were large clearances, and when the total Customs duties collected amounted, in round figures, to £52,000.
