Th« flourmillers of the South Island j are becoming anxious because consid- j erable quantities of Australian flout ar® c being imported to the Dominion. The Australian' article has to pay a duty of £] per ton, and yet it can be sold in * Kew Zealand at a lower rate than the local article. In these circumstances, a it would be,well for local millers to turn their attention to some other business. It is quite certain that Parliament will * not permit an increase in the duty on I flour. On the contrary, there is reason to suppose that when the reciprocal t agreement is made with Australia T floua will bo admitted duty free, s Wheat-growing has, we arc aware, been 3 an important industry in Canterbury i for a number of years. It i® slowly j. being superseded, however, by the lamb- g fattening trade, and by dairying, and it 8 is only a question of years when there j will be a considerable shortage iri the wheat supply of the Dominion. The . flour-millers must accept the inevitable, and Parliament must consider the re- , quirements of the great consuming public before the interests of indi- 1 viduals.—Wairarapa Age. * In the prosaie atmosphere of tie Bow s County Court, a remarkable story was \ told by Iros Anderson, anA.B., who \ said that he arranged to sail from the a West India Doek to Constantinople. ( At the start of the voyage there was a e delay because the engineer was drunk, j and when they got down’ the river as . far as flheerness it was found that there was ho water in the boilers. They very nearly got on to the sands near the lightship, and eventually the' Government tug from Shcernesa came out . ' and towed them in. After they left , c Sheemess the/ went Sack to the West ® * India Dock, where repairs were effected. * They had another try, and almost im- a mediately something wept wrong with H the wheel gear. Eventually they got as f far as Deal, where they had to put in 1 for two, day* hetause it was blowing t hand. WBeri they arrived off Dover Pier tie packing of the engine blew out. { At Dover'the Boardof Trade inspector j came on board and insisted upon bunks j being provided for the men, for they had only planks to lie upon. When they go to Beachy Head the steam 1 dropped, and they could not get the pressure up again. The mate got 1 drunk, and although he was supposed < tt be at the wheel nothing was seen of him. The wind blew very hard at i Beachy Head, and they were nearly 1 ’driven ashore. They eventually got to < the Isle #f Wight, where the captain i sent up his last distress signal, and a j fishing beat came up. At that time, #h ere we~e only three bags of coal in the bunkers, and they had to be towed into Poole.
