FREIGHTS TOO HIGH.

AUSTRALIA. MISS 1*34 TRADE. GOODS- FROM F.S.A. NEW YORK. Jan. 5. A Government buyer for the Pacific Mandated Territories iia-s placed -a large cider here for groceries, including plum puddings, prunes, and soups. Merchants are agreeably .surprised at being successful in. competition against Australian firms. The probable explanation i* that the Vacuum Oil Company's tank -tearners offer a lower freight rate than do steamers lioon Australia. [When shown the foregoing cable. Mr \V. 0. HJarvey, New Guinea Trade Agent .in Sydney, smiled and said that America couldn’t compete with Australia in regard to trading with RuibauL At least.- be didn’t think so. Mr Harvey. however, said that there was a demand in Xe.w Guinea for different brands of American soups, milks, padlock* and clocks, which evidently were now to he sent direct from America by the oil steamers. This made the freight cheaper than shipping from America through Sydney. For some time pa-st, American goods have come through Sydney for R-ahaul.]

Thera is as much difference between raw tobacco and toasted tobacco as there is between a raw potato and savory chips. It is not so much the material you use as the way you adopt in preparing it. Take for instance our locally manufactured tobaccos; they are all toasted, and, as a result, their latent properties have been brought fully out. Science applied, what else is it but common sense. You need not be an expert to understand the wonderful effect of this toasting process; flavour and aroma will tell you; so smooth and mellow, but what is equally important, consider their merits from a health point of view. The object of toasting is to eject any deleterious properties that may be contained in the leaf and to neutralise portion of the poisonous nicotine; hence toasted tobaccos may be smoked with impunity; they will not affect the heart and nerves or the eyesight. Obtainable in three grades: “Riverliead Gold” mild and aromatic, "Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full strength.*
