EAST INDIA SUGAR ACTS.
The CUANcELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, uonsidering the alarm
which prevailed amongst the West bulk Merchants, stated, that it
hail been thought expedient to propose some regulations for foviti-
, toting the exportation of West India Sugar. For this purpose, he
proposed, that the duty on East Sugar, as compared with Veit
of the product of the West Indies, should be inerewed to lOs„ the
cwt. This increase, be CittleviVPll, WOUld jot be too great, when
the probable reduction in the price of freight from the Fast Indies,
in consequence of the opening of the trade, was considered, He
also propwed that the difference of the duty on the two ditkrent
kinds of Sow n. shouldbe regulated by time price, as it should appeal
in the. Gazette.
After seine observations from several Members, the proposal was
agreed to.—Adjourtled.
