Direct Shipment of New South Wales Wool to France
A [can't read] has been received in October 1854 from [Mefers Desgrund], [Pere], & [Fils], stating that the French Government, [can't read] of encouraging this trade, have forced a differential duty of 5 per cent, and again subsequently of 12 per cent, in favour of wool imported direct from Australia.
The French importer will thereby save about twenty per cent if he can get his wool shipped direct to a French port, instead of its reaching him via England, whilst the wool grower will obtain from a penny to two pence per pound higher
