DUMPING AND OTTAWA.
An instructive light on the working of the Ottawa preferential arrangements is cast by an answer given by Mr. Thomas to Mr. George Lamber in the House of Commons. What is known as Kangaroo butter is, it appears, being sold in Melbourne at 123 s lOd (Australian currency—equal to about 98s sterling—and in London at 79s to 80s. Asked whether the butter was being sold dear in Australia in order to be sold cheap here to undercut British produce, the Dominions Secretary was understood to say “ It looks like it.” It does, and the fact is a pertinent commentary on the dumping ascribed to foreigners only. —London Spectator.
