CHEAPER CHOCOLATES
(Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, March 24. Interviewed this Tnorning about a big drop throughout the Dominion in the,priee of chocolates, Mr. R. Hudson stated that it was not a temporary measure. Local manufacturers had been badly hit by enormous importations of English and foreign lines. The tariff duty, 3d lb. On chocolates and 2d on confectionery, was altogether inadequate, as was shown by the fact that importations jumped from £149,740 in 1921 to £291,123 in 1923. The manufacturers were out to recapture trade, and so decided on a drastic cut.
