Large consignments of Australian leather were detained recently in English ports by the Customs officials, who claimed duty on '(2 per cent, of sugar used in manufacture, wht»r»as the export, certificate showed only 7 per cent. Mr. Cojrhlan at once took the matter in ham!, and demanded that American and Argentine leather should have the same treatment as Australian.
