Colonial Sugar Industry.
(Per Press Association.)
Brisbane, March 13.
Sugar planters are petitioning Mr Chamberlain to ask the British Government to take steps to protect them against the bounty paid on beet sugar which is being sent by Continental countries to Australia in large quantities. They point out the competition against this sugar is reducing the price of the local article below the cost of production. During the last thirty years the planters have sunk over five millions sterling in developing the sugar industry in the colony.
