CANADIAN BUTTER DUTIES
DATE OF APPLICATION UNCERTAIN NO KNOWLEDGE IN DOMINION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Oct. 15. Although the new Canadian tariff against New Zealand butter was to operate from last Sunday and the Niagara made a spectacular race against time in order to Unload a large consignment of butter at Vancouver before the expiry of the old tariff, no definite advice has been received by the New Zealand Government whether the higher rates are yet effective. A recent cablegram from London indicated the likelihood of the old rates remaining until the negotiations between the heads of the Canadian and New Zealand Governments at the Imperial Conference had proceeded further than was possible at Ottawa. The Acting-Prime Minister, Mr. E. A. Ransom, was unable to throw any light on the present position. “We have received no advice, either .from Canada or from London,” he said.
