AUSTRALIAN TARIFF. United Press Association —Copyright LONDON, August 16.

We shall find a difficulty to compete on the old lilies.” . T Ransomes, Sons,_ and Jeffries, Ips-,-.icli, declared the increase ill the tarif would very prejudicially affect their trade.

AUCKLAND, August IS. In the ..Fiji Times of July 24th the following, signed by tlie Governor (Sir Everard im Tliurn), appears on tlie subject of preference with Australia : —“ I.think it well to state for genera; information that negotiations between the Commonwealth Government and that of Fiji on the subject of the Australian duty on bananas are proceeding, but that as far as I am aw-ate no- definite result has been attained. Certainly t-lie suggestion that there has been or can be any question of ‘ preference ’ as between the Commonwealth and Fiji is entirely unfounded, but- if as a result of a mu tual agreement between the two' Governments both decide to modify their duties on certain foods in general interests and without preference to any particular place a wide-reaching benefit- will, it is believed, be attained.”
