FIJI BANANAS
SHIPMENTS TO AUSTRALIA. STRONG QUEENSLAND PROTESTS. Received Oct. 14, 9.25 p.m. SYIDNEY, Oct. 14. Fiji bananas, on which there has hitherto been a heavy duty, may now be shipped to Sydney and Melbourne under the terms of the trade agreement between Britain and Australia affecting Crown colonies, the tariff having been reduced from 8s 4d to 2s 6d per cental. The quantity is to be limited to 40,000 centals per year, which it is officially believed will not interfere with the locally-grown banana trade. Queensland growers, however are making a spirited protest. They declare that it savours of a political vendetta.
