DUTIES ON MANURES.
TO BE REMOVED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. On the 3rd instant, stated the Prime Minister to-day, manures were ineluded in the list of goods liable to depreciated currency duty, it was considered that merchants abroad were obtaining an advantage to the prejudice of local manufacturers. Through the operation of depreciated currencies, it was found that the operation of the list as published in the Gazette, combined with the effects of the recent reductions in the selling prices of manures in New Zealand, might, in practice, so operate in some directions as to increase prices to growers, and at the same t : me confer no sufficient compensating benefit on this account. The Minister, on Friday last, decided that duties on manures were to be removed, and the position ae regards individual manures is now being carefully gone into, in order to ensure that the beet possible will be done for the producers and for all concerned in the Dominion, where the manufacture of superphosphate especially is rapidly becoming an important and valuable industry.
