AUSTRALIAN TARIFF.
SOME REDUCTIONS IMMINENT. By Telegraph.—Press A.ssn.—Copyright. Newcastle, October 16. The Minister of Customs announced that on November 1 there will be a reduction in the duties on jam, canned fruits, jelly crystals and other manufactured products containing sugar, proportionate with the reduced price of sugar. The Minister also made a statement justifying the duties on sulphur and superphosphates. He explained that the price, of the latter in Victoria was reduced 5s per ton last week, proving that tho duty did not involve a higher price for farmers. The Tariff Committee reported that Australia manufactured 462,000 tons of superphosphates annually. The sulphur required waa 46,000 tons and the amount available was 32.000 tons. Though the American tariff banned all the farm products of Australia, some Australian primary producers were prepared to give a free market to American sulphur, instead of establishing a great industry for Australia.
