INCREASED CUSTOMS DUTIES
The council of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce last week discussed the question ot increases -in Customs duties which have had a deterrent effect upon Customs revenue by reason of importations being drastically cut down, and even in some cases almost disappearing. -, The matter was referred to a meeting of committees of the chamber, and inquiries are now being made of members, who are asked to conic forward with specific instances that have come under their notice where, by reason of higher. duties, trade has diminished or departed in respect of particular commodities. Already instances have been quoted in respect of cigars, nne-cut tobacco, and skin gloves. A deputation will wait upon the Comptroller of Customs next week to discuss the matter.
