OPERATION OF THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.-As
it is understood that the Treasury Department
will authorize the collectors Of customs to re-
ceive bonds for the duties on Canadian and New
Brunswick produce, we sbould shortly have a
fall in the price of flour, grain, provisions AMI
lumber. Large quantities of these staples will
come over the lines at once. They ought to
decline to thu omount Of the duty formerly
paid on them but we presume that the pro-
ducers will not allow US at first to reap all the
benefit Of the change. Coal, we regret to say,
will not participate as yet in the Alteration.
Owing to the sluggish manner in which our
Nova Sootian neghbors do business, the Reel.
procity Treaty has not yet been ratified in that
province, and our executive APPEARS unwilling
to anticipate their movements. 1t is strange
that the coal miners Of Nova Scotia have taken
no steps to urge their government to action,
considering that the ratification of the treaty
would give such powerful stimulus to their
trade. One would have fancied, after the noise
they made some time ago, when it was propos-
ed to exclude coal from the benefit of the
treaty, that they would have been the first to
adopt is in its present state.
