Christchurch, September 23. , In common with what is happening in other oenti'es, an eleventh-hour rush by importers to clear goods in lx>nd in anticipation of an increase of the Customs • tariff has developed in Christchurch.

There is very little drapery to clear, most: concerns having by nowpaid duty on their importations. Very little merchandise is now held in' bond I here. *

Ono . man, after paying in to the Customs on I'humday morning, expressed the opinion that’ as the common belief about extra duties had gathered in a big sum to t.ho Treasury there was the -less chanco o? instar! tor imposition.—" Star.”
