AUSTRALIAN TARIFF.
GRAZIERS’ PROTEST. “LOSS OF £6,000,000 A YEAR.” The president of the Graziers’ Association of New South Wales (Mr J. P. Abbott), in an address given in Sydney, said that if Japan, because of Australia’s new tariff, reduced her purchases of Australian wool by 50 per cent, it would mean a loss of £6,.000,000 a year to the Australian wool industry. It had also been indicated that Japanese buyers would no longer bid against one another for their wool purchases, but that Japan and Manchukuo would operate as one purchasing unit, so that Australia would lose sthl more as a result of this loss of competition at the sales.
The demand, for two and three-vear heifers of quality was indicated at the annual heifer fair at "Waverley last week, when 350 heifers sold at a.n average of £7, with prices up to £IOO. The offering was regarded as perhaps the best in the North Island and sales were made very readily. A good proportion of the heifers were railed to the "Waikato.
