COMMERCIAL.

The following statement and calculations are
taken from letter Of w. f. Reuss, OF Liver
mol. author Of q valuable work under the title
of Calculations aud Statements OF the Trade
with America" They appear to be the correct
views Of mercantile good sense, perspicuously
stated; and although there is nothing Particu-
arly difficult or abstruse about them, it will per.
haps save hundred other persons the trouble OF
making the same calculations il We print them
a, once. New York Gazette.
Tlews of The manner in phich the late naod!f.
cation Of the Tariff La,cs in the United States
are particularly applicable.
/. Duties on Imports, subject to convention
al valuation.
By the tariff of the 18th July 1882, which
forms the basis upon which the late enact"en,s
rest, IT is provided that cotton prints are to pay
duty Of 25 per cent on the value, that IN case
the actual value is below IS cents per square
yard, it is 10 be assumed for the computation Of
the duty, to be SIS cents per square yard.
Cotton prints are usually 26 inches vide, and
can he procured in Manchester at from l2s to
16s per piece Of % yards. or at I'D to g CD
per running yard. In referring to p lie OF my
volume relating to the trade between the United
States and Great Britain it will be found that
these prices aud width, establish customs val.
ue Of l45 to I9a cents per square yard, which BE-
ing considerably below s. cents per square yarc,
it NAV be taken for granted, that almost all cot
ton prints shipped from Great Britain to the Unit
ted States are rated for duty at the nominal val
ue of SIS cents per SOU. yard. This admitted,
the following example will show the mode OF Ia
king the duty 10 all cases as provided Tor by law,
viz:
1000 pieces prints. 26 inches wide, and % yards
long; gives $4,000 running yards, or 90, S22

III. Duties on Imports liked at SPECIFIC rate.
On examination of the Tariffact Of 4th March,
i, appears that goods subject TO specific duties
are likewise to participate in the conceded reduc.
ton, in cases where that duty exceeds 20 per
cent of the actual value; so that. from and after
sOth June, 1s4s. such specific duty will be trans
formed into an ad vaorem duty OF 20 per cent.
Brandy, for instance, belongs to this description
of Imports.
The present duty is........... '."57 cts per gall
The value, either by invoice or ap:
praisement, say 81 per gallon,
whereof 90 per cent is..".'.".2O cts per gall
Excess Of duty over one.fifth the .
value .,........... .".."......'.S7 Cts per gall
One .tenth is 8 7.l0 cts pr gall
Thus reduction Of 7-10 cents per gallon is
to take place in the duty every two years, until
June so, 1s4l. when the reduction will be 5
$500 cents per gallon, and after June, 1912,
the duty 90 per cent.
