PRODUCE FREIGHTS.
AUSTRALIANS WANT REDUCTIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, October 11. A representative deputation waited on the Oversea Shipping Representatives Association and asked for a reduction in freights on pastoral produce between Australia, and the United Kingdom, pointing to the fact that freights between New Zealand and Britain were cheaper than from Australia. Mr. J. B. Milne, who was spokesman for the Shipping Association, explained that the reduction rested with the owners of ships, not with the association. The difference between the New Zealand and Australian rates was influenced by the facts that the New Zealand coast/ line wa/s shorter loading could be accomplished in less time. New Zealand steamers shipped for United Kingdom ports, while Australian vessels called at Continental ports. All kinds, of produce were handled at New Zealand ports. New Zealan wool was of less value, wages were lower, and port dues lower.
