The firm of Sewart and Lloyd, of Glasgow, said Mr. Pratten, had arranged under the deferred duties passed by Parliament to open large works in Newcastle for the manu- facture of the bulk of wrought iron and steel pipés required in Aus- tralia, requirements which estimated to be 50,000 tona a year, and were valued at £1,000,000. With this development in New- castle, and the help given by the last tariff schedule, it was expected that an additional 100,000 tons of Iron and steel products would be turned out from Australian fac- tories, and the Broken Hill Pty. Co.'s steelworks at Pt. Waratah would supply a great quantity of Pig's Chitlings raw material required.
Mr. Pratten said that another Scottish firm that would open at branch in Australia was Mesars.
