Important Commercial Revolution In RUS
The Hull Packet Of Friday, the 9Th ult., whose
information from the north OF Europe is, from local
position earlier than our own, states from "conf
dental authority, entitled TO implicit confidence,
that Notwithstanding what has been stated from
high quarters, nothing was to be done with the Rus
sian tariff this season, 1t 10 more than probable
that, IN few days, an announcement of cons!dera-
BILE reductions on the duties on the leading EXPORTS
and on many imprrts, will be made" and certainly

the working abroad of the development of the future
commercial policy Of the British government The
merchants OF st. Petersburg had for some time
thought thatthe example OF England would be follow

soon. Sir X. Peel himself declared that he expected

ufacturers enabled to furnish articles for CON
sumption, which. apart from their inferior quality,
are fifty per cent dearer than those imported from
England (and no cheaper than the French or
Belgian), although the charges for labor, buildings,
food and fuel as well as the taxes, are five times
higher in England than in Russia. Hence il be-

The interests Of that country would therefore be

LOCO different fabrics considerably modified, if not
altogether abrogated. From statistics furnished, it
IS shown, that the manufactures of Russia still
in their infancy. There was, IN 1913, deficiency
OF nearly eight millions of roubles, to cover expen
SEES OF imports from abroad, for the yearly con!
sumption OF the population-the imports being
that amount over the exports. As regards
