THE BUDGET DEBATE.

Loudon, 19th April,

SPECIAL OBJECTION TO COAL DUTY

In the debate in the House of Commons on the Budget, criticism was directed chiefly to the coal duty as a reversion to protection. Soine alors regretted that there was no deferential treatment in favour of colonial sugar.

The resolution imposing the Sugar Duty was adopted by 181 votes against 12, and for imposing the Export Duty or cold by 171 against 137.

ASSETS OF THE TRANSVAAL

During debate. Sir W. Harcourt said that the Budget was characterised by honesty and truth; bet ha criticised details, notably the export duty on coul. He dwelt on the heck- early enormous expenditure on the resettlement of the new colonias,

Sir M. Hicks-Beach, in reply. declined that he and Mr Chamberlain would do their beat to obtain whatever was possible from the valuable nests of the Transvaal, particularly minerals.

PRESS CRITICISMS-DUTY ON WHEAT. The Conservative papera consider that the field of taration might have been extended bo- you coal and sugar, the Morning Post ug- gesting a duty on wheat. Apart from this, the Budget statement is generally eulogised as bold and statesmanlike.

INDIAN TEA.

The Chanellor of the Exchequer, in his speech, thus referred to tea-Teu is already faxed 75 percent. of its value, and is the pro- duce. mainly, of India and Ceylon. It is a crop in which our own follow-subjects at home and abroad are deeply intorester; and the trade, largely owing to over-production, is by no meâus in a satisfactory condition.

London, 21st April. ACTION BY GIBRALTAR CHAMBER ÖF COMMERCE,

The Gibraltar Chamber of Comaneres has memorialised Mr. Chamberlain not to enforce the export duty on etul seat to colonial coaling stations.
