SIR WILLIAM LYNE.

TARIFF NEGOTIATIONS. CANADIAN RECIPROCITY STLIL POSSIBLE. Per Press Association. —Copyright. Received Dec. 20, 10.12 a.m. Sydney December 20. Sir W. Lyne expects that taking the tariff cn the whole the reduction of his duties by Parliamen will not exceed 8 per cent. With reference to Canada’s withdrawal of the mail subsidy, Sir W. Dyne says he does not for a moment think it is on account of the Australian tariff. Communication has been proceeding on the question of trade reciprocity since the introduction of the tariff, and Canada has been informed that Australia could not negotiate until the tariff was finally disposed of. The negotiations had certainly not been broken off, and so soon as the tariff had been completed would probably be renewed. He added: ‘ ‘ Canadians must not forget that their tariff is as high, or higher than ours. ’ ’
