EXPORT OF TIMBER.
New Zealand sawmillers will be interested, and probably chagrined, to learn that the new Australian tariff providtes for a substantial increase of the duty on imported timbers, other than white pine for use in the manufacture of butter-boxes. For some time past the shipments of building timber from New Zealand to Australia have been very heafy. The result has been that a severe sho»tage has been experienced Til' this Dominion. Appeals have been made for a prohibition of exportation, but without avail.
