CABLE RATES.

(special to united press association.)
London, J une 8.
The New South Wales Government now only oppose the proposed new Press rates. Sir Saul Samuel has spoken to Sir F. D. Bell, and expressed a desire that the New Zealand Government would act in concert with the other colonies, as the Cable Companies were prepared to reduce the cost of public message to four shillings, provided the colonies would make them a guarantee on the average of the flast three years’ receipts. The New Zealand Government decline to purchase the cable, or to renew the subsidy, and the rates will therefore probably be increased in July.
