Australian mercantile circles Are anti ii sly awaiting the full details of the Fede ral Tariff proposals.

Redwen chairman of the australian merchants association says while giving us a Welcome preference Over foreigners Australia evidently. Does. Hot want to encourage imports. This May raise a difficult position in regard to ship Ping. At present steamers Are going to Australia with Only a Quarter of the full cargo. The increased Tariff will mean that still les3 cargo will be shipped and fewer steamers will Load for Australia. Therefore there is Likely to be insufficient tonnage to lift All that Australia desires to Export with possibly increased freights on produce to Europe. The soft goods traders in response to the australian pres3 association s enquiries state they do not think the pro posed ice read Tariff on woollens will adversely affect the Trade particularly while the present conditions in the world prevail. The full effect Tariff will not be realised until the pre War conditions axe restored but it is Likely that australian Competition with England for Many years to come will be confined to lower and medium cloths. Even then it is our Teal whether Australia will be Able to pro Duce sufficient for her own needs. The Tariff together with the High Cost of pro. Auction and other charges will be sufi l client to exclude English cloths of this. Quality except to the extent to. Which australian production Falls Short of the demand. In. Regard to the better Fine counts of solid worsted goods the effect of the extra Tariff Wili not be appreciable except in the increase of. Cost to the aus Teatian per chasers.
