(SPECIAL TO PRESS ASSOCIATION.) London, Get 12. — The Timea considers that the separation of Queensland la premature until the territory to be divided will undertake to maintain an undeviating policy in regard to the growth of produce by free instead ot coinpulaory labour. An Australian ring has succeeded in reducing the outward insurance rates on sailing vessels to 7s 6d per cent. The turnip crop is a failure. English mutton will flood the market until Christmas. The various Agents-General have held a conference with the cable companies regarding the proposed reductions, aud they are now confident that a reduction of 2b per woid on public messages will be obtained from July next. It is expected that the Press rates will come into iorce in January, but these messages will be liable to delay in favour ol commercial work. Such delay will probably be only nominal. Oct 13.— t-ir F. A. VV eld, Governor of the Straits Settlement, has sailed for feingapore.
