IMPORTATION OF

WHEAT

SOUTH CANTERBURY PROTEST.

The committee of the South Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association decided at a meeting yesterday to send a letter of protest to the Minister for Industries and Commerce against the importation of wheat into the Dominion for use in the western part of the North Island.

Mr P. Porter introduced the subject, stating that it appeared wrong to import wheat when there was a Wheat Board in existence, and when wheat was actually being exported from New Zealand. Recently, he said, a considerable quantity of wheat had been imported. The motion was seconded by Mr W H. Orbell and carried. WHEAT TRADING. CARGOES, PARCELS, AND FUTURES. LONDON, June 8.
