An intimation that he would make a full statement regarding the sliding scale of duties on wheat and flour during the short session of Parliament' next month was given by the Prime Minister to-day. “No doubt,” said Mr Forbes, “with the general fall in the prices of commodities all round and reductions in costs there will have to be some reductions not only in the prices of wheat but in the milling and baking industry as well.” He had already set in train an investigation of the wheat and floui' position by the Department of Industries and Commerce and the Customs Department, and he hoped shortly to have the whole of the facts before him.
