: AUCKLAND, Last Night. ; A protest against the movement : in the South Island to have the im- \ portation of flour and wheat pro- : hibited was made to-day at a meet- , ing of the Auckland Grain and | Seed Merchants' Association. It was ! decided to telegraph the Prime Min- = ister and other mem'bers of the | i Cabinet pointing out that the As- ; • sociation views with apprehension i i the pressure that is being brought | | to bear on the Government by the : j wheat growers, and that it desired j t to »snter an emphatic protest against : any further restriction being im- ; posedl as the Association considers j that the present duty of 2s per ceni tral on wheat and £8 per ton on { flour, plus the dumping duty, is { ample protection. .
