INCREASED TEA PRICES
HON. SULLIVAN’S REMARKS. DOMINION SU'PLIES SUFFICIENT I I’cr Press Association. 1 WELLINGTON, Oct. 28. Referring to tea prices and the question oL increased value, Hon. D. G. Sullivan said it was absufd to contend that had the import selection regulations not been operative those in the trade could have foreseen the overseas market rise that has taken place since the outbreak of the war, and that they would have imported sufficient quantities to keep them off the frequent sales that take place in Colombo. Tea is a commodity that does not keep indefinitely and therefore frequent and consistent importations are necessary. A close watch is being kept upon the stock position and there arc supplies in New Zealand that should assure the Dominion ol sufficient to keep up the ordinary current demand.
