Markets OF the World.
s LONDON, Nov 31.-Expectation of n
larger trade with the United States, as
result of the new Tariff bill, is evidently
pvershadowed in the minds of British
manufacturers and merchants by an
oppressive fear that on the basis of free
raw materials American competitors
will rob them of the markets of the
world.
The prevalence of this feeling is
demonstrated by interviews with prumi-
nent manufacturers in various lines
James S. Anderson, of the great metal
Arm Of A. G. Kidstone 81 Co., of Glas-
row, said in regard to the effect of the
new tariff on trade with the United
Bates:
HURTS BRITISH TRADE IN CANADA.
sour trade lies more with Canada. 1t
y too early to form Just estimate of
HE effect Of the new bill, but this we
have already seen: The lower values
brought about by reduction of duties
In the United States are telling upon the
trade of Great Britain with the Domin-
ION of Canada"

Mr.. Taylor, of Messrs. A. Gagniere s.
