ROUTE OF WHEAT SHIPS
DIRECT CONSIGNMENT. QUESTION. Technical detnils in the Ottawa agreements are causing friction between the Dominions and commercial departments of the Board of Trade (says a London report). Australian wheat exporters are hit by a regulation whereby Australian goods must be consigned direct to England in order to enjoy the tariff preferences. As wheat ships usually call at intermediate ports for orders, it is not clear whether their cargoes will, in such circumstances, bo eligible for preferences. The trade considers the uncertainty to be worse than the definite duty imposed on foreigners, since merchants will not incur commitments until they know where they stand. Australia House has protested, and the Bonrd of Trade, is conferring to find a workabio solution.
