AUSTRALIAN PRODUCERS
BACON AND PORK DUTY INCREASE URGED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, January 28. The ' Diiily Telegraph,’ says that an impending move on the part of the producers is an application for an increase in the duty on bacon and pork. This is being directed chiefly against New Zealand, whence the greater part of Australia’s importations of these products are derived. The competition of the dominion in these markets is regarded as altogether unfair to local pig raisers, since the New Zealand Governincnt, in order to foster the trade, has granted a bonus on exported pork. Trade returns show that last year Australia exported 1,814,0001 b of hacon and ham, and imported 375,0001 b, of which 352,0001 b came from New Zealand. The exports of pork totalled 481,0001 b while the imports amounted to 733,0001 b, of which New Zealand supplied all but 2001 b.
