CUSTOMS AGREEMENT.
DUTY ON CURRANTS AND RAISINS. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, August 16. “ I understand,” stated the Minister of Customs to-day, “that merchants are embarrassed in placing their season’s orders for currants and raisins owing to uncertainty whether the suspended duty against foreign countries is to be brought into operation so as to help Australia. In order to meet this difficulty, I have cabled to the Minister of Customs in Australia notifying him that if, as a result of the negotiations, duty is imposed on foreign currants and raisins, it can only operate from next January. This • should enable merchants to know wher’ they are. as I understand orders now placed are usually delivered not later than November.”
