Notes on the Me,0 TmfG.-All goods,
except perishable provisions * liquors,
may remain in cntrepot for 10 months,
paying 2per cent on their valuation
If not exported within that time, they
then pay, besides the per cent. the
customary duties for consumption. If
sold for expectation, the charge of 9
per cent is divided between the import
er and purchaser. To the duty on SUI
gar and coffee must be added IS cents
per box on sugar, and IS cents per qql.
on coffee. In addition to the duties on
importations, 9 per cent is charged,
called "Naval auxiliary and corsario
duties" Goods imported for consump-
ton or placed in depot have the same
valuation Articles calculated for the
agriculture of the island pay only l3
per ceut Raising of swine and the
manufacturing of shoes deserving par
tieular protection, there has been i'm
posed heavy duty on those coming
from abroad. The produce and manu-
features of Spain, imported directly
from the Peninsula in national vessels,
will be subject to an indiscriminate du-
| ty OF per cent. on the value fixed in
the Tariff. Merchandise having been
entered for consumption, and paid du-
ty, pays nothing on expectation.
Vessels stopping at this port with
out discharging or loading, pay the
same tonnage duty, as if they discharg-
ed or loaded.

"MATANzAs, DEB. livery little is
doing in our market at present. SUI
gars Of the new crop will arrive late
this year, and very little coffee has as
yet made its appearance-we quote it
at 9 a IL cents. American produce is
brisk, and getting scarce. The new
French Consul at Havana has brought
out an order laying an additional 1t
dollars on American tonnage, which,
if it takes effect, will materially injure
our trade"
