The Duty on Fruit.
OPPOSITION IN SYDNEY. (Per Press Association.) Sydney, Sept. 26. Deputations of fruit-growers waited on tbe Premier. The spokesman said the ground of objection was that the duty which New Zealand already imposed was extraordinarily high, and curtailed shipments to that colony. The deputation considered the present action of New Zealand unfriendly and unneighbourly. If they could see that New Zealand would obtain any advantage it would be different, but the proposed new duty would have the effect of prohibiting the exportation of fruit to that colony. The Premier, in reply, Baid the deputation had put a strong case and that he could not' understand bow New Zealand in her own interests could do such a thing. He would telegraph to the Premier of New Zealand, and he was sure that from tho friendly relations which existed the representations would have great weight.
