REVIEW OF DUTIES
HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 30. The review of the duties on certain horticultural products, originally imposed in 1932, has been completed by the Import Duties Advisory Committee, and the Treasury has issued an order for their continuance, with slight modifications. The committee now states that, while there is still much to be done, the industry as a whole has responded well to the call made on it. There is a general consensus of evidence concerning the large increase in home production and concerning the advance made in marketing methods. From no quarter has it been suggested that prices generally have been affected to the detriment of the consumer. In these circumstances the committee sees no reason to recommend any reduction in the measure of protection afforded by the existing duties.
