The Christchurch correspondent of ’’the Dunedin “ Star ” says :—“ A conference of the principal manufacturers of confectionery and biscuits was held recently in the North Island, when it was reported that prices were fixed for New Zealand made confectionery as far as the principal selling lines were concerned. A noticeable feature of the new rates is the very low prices fixed for boiled sweets, these being listed at a very small profit on the cost of sugar and other materials. This lias caused ill-feeling amongst smaller sugitr-boilers, who manufactured boiled sweets only, and do not make chocolates or confectionery on which there is reported to he a substantial manufacturer’s profit. One small maker said that if the large chocolate manufacturers of New Zealand were going to take their profit off chocolate lines, and then sell boiled goods at above the cost level against the smaller sugar-boijers, there was going to he a stiong agitation for the removal of all protection against imported confectionery.”
