AUSTRALIAN FLOUR
Sir—Your article in this morning si issue re the discussion the House of Representatives commenting on the importation of cheap (?) Australian flour, is-, rather misleading. The cost of flour toAVellington bakers, delivered in theirbakehouses, is: Australian flour, £16 10s. per ton net cash; New Zealand flour, 10s. per ton net cash. This does not bear out the statement that Australian flour is cheap. The reason bakers buy the dearer Australian flour is to produca a good loaf, as, unfortunately, Now Zealand flour milled from last year's wheat, is of very poor quality, and if Australian flour was shut out the public of New Zealand would have to be content with a veTy inferior article.—l am, etc., ' ONE IN THE TRADE. August 9.
