THE CUSTOMS CONVENTION. PREFERENTIAL TARIFF. PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. Melbourne, May 29. Mr Deakin has received a cable from the High Commissioner, Johannesburg, in which he states that under the new Customs Convention preference has been extended to butter, corn, grain, flour, fodder, Quaker oats, fruits, lards and meats. The general ad valorem rate has been increased from 10 per cent, to 15 per cent., with a preference rebate of 3 per cent. The distinction between refined and unrefined sugar has been eliminated, which disposes of the difficulty in regard to Mauritius and Australian sugar. Preferential treatment is, of course, contingent on the Commonwealth granting equivalent reciprocal privileges.
