THE WHEATGROWERS’ VIEW. CHRISTCHURCH, July 4. A prominent representative of the Canterbury wheatgrowers, replying to the statement made by the president of the Master Bakers' Union that had wheat been admitted duty free it would have had the effect of reducing the price of flour, stated that the importation of wheat was not affecting the price of flour at all. The Government, he said, would secure any difference between the landed price of wheat and the price at which it was sold to millers. The price was so arranged that no increase would be made in the price of flour, while the admixture of Australian with New Zealand wheat would make the use of imported flour by bakers unnecessary.—(P.A.)
