TRADE.
The market was exceedingly dull in
all departments, sympathetic with a
further decline in cotton, and the feel
ing in mercantile circles was one of
dependency. 1t Is apprehended by
many that cotton is going to zoe. The
effect OF such adecline would be severe
in mercantile circles, especially a.
from the late downward course of
/, gold merchants have been losers to a
great extent. The country is well
!, supplied with money, however, and
continues to buy literally in the way
Of corn, provisions, etc, which will
be continued throughout the season.
A report 70 the New Orleans Cham
Der of Commerce says the changes
effected by the new tariff bill will en-
tail a loss to the revenue Of not less
than $1,000, OOO0 to SD, 000, 900 per
annum, as follows: The reduction of
duty on sugar will average lc per
pound, and on mOl8sses &c per gallon.
The consumption of foreign sugar and
molasses in the United States (eXclU-
sive Of California and Oregon for 1863,
was, of sugar, Az ,S99 tons equal to
L,0O3, 293, go pounds, at lc-Sl0,032,-
937 80: of mOlasses, IS, l0l ,092 gallons,
at 3c-S1, 1888, 032 rs; making a loss to
the revenue per annum, in gold, of
81, 49, $40 So. In addition to which,
this reduction entails a cores
ponding loss to the sugar planters, on
the crop they make, which IL would
be UngenerOUs TO force upon them at
present, as the markets would be
flooded, and prices yet more depressed,
by the increased amount of refined
sugar which would follow the passage
of this measure. Nay, more; would
it be worthy Of a great nation that
protects the weak, 70 say to this strug-
Cling industry, You have fifty per
cent. too much protection; instead Of
three cents, ] will make it two; and
not only so, but to make this with
drawal Of protection the more severe
" felt by you, l, at the same time, in
crease and transfer my faVOrs 20 the
iron trade, so that henceforth, on all
the iron in the implements you use
to make your crops, you must
pay 50 TO 100 per cent. more duty than
YOU now do" Your committee, in
view of the changes proposed by this
bill, are certainly Of opinion that the
Senators and Representatives Of Lou
isiana in Congress will e that no
such iniuSticc as this is done to their
constituents. If the tariff, as it is,
produces more revenue than the
treasury requires, then add to the free
list such arUIcles as compete with home
productions; but on 10 account with
draw protection from one industry
that is poor and struggling to heal it
on another that is rich and powerful.
