THE NEW DUTIES.
« _ By Telegraph.—-Press Association.—Copyright. London, April 30. Sir M. Hicks-Beach, replying to a deputation of miners, said the duty imposed on exported coal would fall on foreign purchasers, and that the export of coal had been doubled in thirteen years despite higher freights and the imposition of import; i duties abroad. Sir M. Hicks-Beach, in reply to a question by Mr. Flower, in the House of Commons, stated that a rebate on colonial sugar was impracticable, inasmuch as it was impossible to estimate the quantity of sugar not really colonial imported from the colonies. The Committee of Ways and Means renewed the duty on spirits. The House, by 251 to 1-18, adopted the report of the committee which agreed to the sugar duties, and also adopted the report of the committee agreeing to the incraase of twopence in ihe income tax.
