COMMISSION RATES.
WOOL IN AUCKLAND. FARMERS URGE REDUCTION.* Objection to the high commission rates charged by the Auckland Woolbrokers' Association was embodied in a remit presented by the Taumarunui branch at the Provincial Conference of the Farmers' Union this morning. Mr Stanton (Taumarunui) said the rates in Auckland should be brought into line with those ruling in other parts of the Island. Mr Giles (Oue) contended a flat rate should be charged everywhere. The rate in southern centres was 2A per cent, for the first £SOO and 1J per cent, for greater sums. The same reduction should be made for all classes of wool in Auckland. Mr Stanton said the remit was not intended to make any distinction between small or large growers, butonly to stabilise the selling centres. • Mr McConochie's amendment that a flat rate of 2 per cent, be charged was lost. The unamended remit was carried.
