COTTON DUTIES
LANCASHIRE’S NEW OFFER [BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —OOPYBIGHT.] RUGBY, September 4. With a view to facilitating the settlement of the dispute over the increased Australian cotton duties, a number of Lancashire firms offered, to consider a contract to buy for a period of years either a fixed quantity of Australian-grown cotton, or the surplus crop over local requirements, subject to the quality being satisfactory, and the protests regarding the duties on Lancashire products being met. The offer has been placed before the Australian Minister of Trade and Customs, but a full Cabinet meeting at present is out of the question, owing to Ministers being engaged in the election campaign. BOYCOTT POSTPONED LONDON, September 4. The executive of the North of England Wholesale-Grocers’ Association, at Manchester, passed a resolution postponing the threatened boycott of Australian produce, until after the Australian elections.
