RECIPROCAL TARIFF.
SPILT ON TWO ITEMS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Melbourne, Oct. 14. The Minister of Customs moved that the following additional items in the reciprocal trade agreement with New Zealand be ratified:—Preserved meats in tins, '2d per lb; sheets and roofing r«late»3. cement and asbestos, ad valorem 10 per cent.-, dairying machines and implements, free; corn, millet, brooms, ad valorem 30 per cent. The Minister explained that there had been a split on two items. Australia desired free entry into New Zealand for dried fruits, particularly currants and raisins, while New Zealand would agree only on condition that New Zealand he allowed free entry for oats. He was not prepared to surrender Australian oat growers to competition even if the dried, fruit market should be lost as a result. The resolution, with an accompanying Bill, passed all its stages.
