FREIGHT ON IMPORTS.
A REDUCTION ANNOUNCED. COMES INTO FORCE AT ONCE. The Department of Industries and Commerce has received from the High Commissioner cabled intimation that the New Zealand Conference Shipping Lines have agreed to a reduction of outward freights from England, to come into force immediately. This means that the freights on our imports will be slightly lower, the decrease varying from approximately 6 per cent, to 12 per cent, on the previously ruling rates. The following examples will give some idea of the revision: : —Wheels and axles, £8 to £7; instruments, electrical material, paper in eases, and various items of stationery, from 125 s to 115 s; rough goods, such as certain chemicals, earthenware, glassware, cotton waste, motor and ordinary cycles, enamelware, linoleum, twine, £5 to 90s; stores, such as railway fastenings, brass and copper bars, loose iron and steel bolts, nuts, rivets, screws, tin plates, spindles without insulators, loose springs, various tubes, 70s to 655; material such as pigiron, iron and steel bars, channels, joists, loose or in bundles; loose axles, and loose chains, £3 to 555.
