TOBACCO DUTY.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Dec. 15.
The reduced excise duties on tobacco were gazetted to-night. The reductions give effect to a clause in the Customs Amendment Act which empowered alterations to be made by Order-in-Council which would place New Zealand tobacco in the same relative position to the imported commodity as it occupied prior to the removal of the surtax on the latter. The new duties are as follow: —On tobacco (cut), 3s 4Jd per pound; on tobacco, fine cut, suitable for the manufacture of cigarettes, 9s 2d per pound; on other tobacco, 3s 2}d per pound; on cigarettes not exceeding in weight two and a-half pounds per thousand, 23s 4d per thousand; on cigarettes exceeding in weight two and a-half pounds per thousand, 9s 4d per pound.
