The Increased Tobacco Duty
HOW MUCH IS BEING PASSED ON? Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. In tho House to-day Mr. G. C. C. Black referred to the increased wholesale prices of tobacco and asked whether the Prime Minister would take steps to see that the general public and the retailers were not exploited by reason of tho tariff revision. Mr. Forbes said the difference between the list of wholesale prices quoted and the net increase in duty was accounted for by the allowance of discounts on the increased prices. The net return to the selling companies was within a fraction of a penny of that realised prior to the increase in duty.
