THE DUTY ON MANURES.
♦ REASON FOR REMOVAL. POSITION OF LOCAL INDUSTRY [BY TELEOKAPII.—PREBS ASSOCIATION,] WELLINGTON. Tuesday. " On March 3," stated the Prime Minister to-day, "manures were included in the list of goods liable to depreciated currency duty, as it was considered that merchants abroad were obtaining an advantage to the prejudice of local manufacturers, through the operation of depreciated currencies. It was found that the operation of the list as published in the Gazette, combined with the effects of recent reduction in the selling prices of manures in New Zealand, might in practice operate in some directions, so as to increase the prices to growers, and at the same time confer no sufficient compensating benefit. On this account the Minister on Friday last decided that the duties on manures were to be removed, and the position as regards individual manure is now being carefully gone into in order to ensnro that the best possible will be done for the producers, and for all concerned in the Dominion where the manufacture of superphosphate especially is rapidly becoming an important and valuable industry."
