price of $50 Rails will be one of the few
articles upon which specific duty will be
retained. Pig iron will probably be put
at per cent, while bar iron will be re
duced about 90 per cent. The rate on
nearly all manufactures of cotton is 4Oper
cent. This includes hosiery, which has
compound duties ranging as high as IL
per cent, and the classihcations of differ
ent grades of goods is abandoned. Manu-
tactures OF flax, hemp and jute are greatly
reduced in view of the placing OF the raw
materials on the free list,
The compound duty on collars and cuffs
Is sabandoned, and nothing left but the ad
yalorem rate OF 30 or AZ per cent. The
chlnaware schedule VIII peobably be re-
duced per cent. on the existing rate of

greater than the apparent change in the
ad yalorem rate
