On the 20th idem you inserted a reply from Mr. Tatter Ball, the well-known writer on the pro- ductions of Lancashire. The gist of the first letter was to show that there was practically competition between Indian and Lancashire cloths, and that, therefore, the Excise should be abolishes, a contention which Mr. Tattersall dis- puted.
But he went on to say that if Indian manufacturers were to propose to the Government the abolition of both the import duty and the Excise duty they would reriw the support of Lancashire.

Since the P. and O. liner Narrung i only insured in the market against the risk of total loss, underwriters werġ asking themselves yesterday, says The Times of the 28th ult., how her mit adventure would affect them. P. and O. liners, as a rule, are not insured at all with underwriters, but the insurance on to Yarring appears to be a survival of the days when she was one of Messrs. W. Lund & Company's vessels. She is s steamer of over 6,000 tons and was fully ladea with cargo, so that the insurance interests here are considerable. At pre- sent it is quite impossible to estimate the value of the cargo, but the market would be surprised if it proves to be much less than £100,000. Cargo is insured either against all risks or else free of particular average, and in the latter case under- writers do not pay for damage except when due to certain specified causes. These causes are set out in a special clause which provides that the cost of damage shall not be paid unicas the vessel or craft be stranded, sunk, or burat, or unless the damage be caused by the dis- charge of cargo at a port of distress.
RATES FOR SOVEREIGNS, GOLF LEAF, BAR SILVER (From 1900), and other Useful Information,
The exact wording of the clause which now obtains runs as follows:--
Warranted free from particular average unless the vessel or craft be stranded sunk or burnt, but the assurers are to pay the insured value of any package or packages which may be totally lost in loading trans shipment or discharge, also any loss of or the interest insured which may damage reasonably be attributed to fire collisior contact of the vessel and/or eraft und/or conveyance with any external substance tice included) other than water, or to dis- charge of cargo at a port of distress, also to pay landing and/or warehousing forwarding and special charges if incurred.
