reduction in the cOrn-duties is at present to be
regarded as wholly out Of the consideration; the
timber duty Is not So but that atie It's only very
trfng degree the cost OF producing British goods
The duty on raw materials worked up into manu-
featured products affects them essentially, and
bears upon our foreign export trade with more
now and as they are likely to remain. In no way
so directly and efectually the designs OF Prus-
STA and the United States against British commerce
be counteracted as by remission of the duties on
cotton and imported wool, and this is what we ex-
pect to see as one OF the first concessions which
the Government will make from their present posi-
ton OF financial strength. Whoever knows the
bias of the Premers mind and has reflected on the
course OF his policy, will think it much more likely
that his views should take this direction than the
opposite, notwithstanding the threatening lntima
ton conveyed in Lord Aberdeen's instruction
Nothing would give more satisfaction TO cur manu-
tacturers or conduce more to the permanent popu-
lariiy OF Ministers among merchants, than remis-
sion of the duty on the raw material OF our staple
trades.
We are sirs, obediently,
