House of Eepebsbntatines, Wellington, October 30. When the House met at 2 30 o’clock
REPLIES TO QUESTIONS,
Ministers stated it would be a very good think if reciprocity could be obtained with America, although Mr Scddon did not think there was much chance of it. There ought, however, to be a preferential tariff between New Zealand and the Mother Country,
That the recommendation of the timber conference that export duty of 3s per hundred feet he placed on white pine, kauri and baulk timer, was now before the Cabinet, The statement recently cabled from Sydney that Mr Seddon had already arranged to effect such a duty was absolutely incorrect. That no invitation had yet been received for this Colony to be represented at the King’s Coronation, but tt was expected an invitation would come to hand in the recess and the Government would consequently ask for the necessary financial provision on the supplementary estimates.
