POSITION IN DUNEDIN
DUNEDIN, April 10. Loc;il flourmillers state that the Dunedin mills do not ship largely to the north, but they must be affected if Australia holds the northern market; not much Australian Hour comes south, but importations havo already reached such proportions in the north that southern milling is reduced to about half tho ordinary proportion. One miller said that not much could be done except to bring down the price, which meant a loss sinco millers bought wheat at a fixed price. Relief would come quickly if outside markets centred in Loudon took a firming tendency.
