FALLING OFF in IMPORTS.
The Shippers Were Waiting for Lower
Duties.

The enormous falling off in Uuited States
customs receipts during the pendency of the
tarifl bill gave some idea OF the great de-
creases in the amounts and values OF articles
exported from foreign countries to the United
States during that period, but customs Of
flcias and others having 10 deal with the
assessment OF duties were hardly prepared
for the showing contained in reports just
received and just complied at the state de-
partment. Communications received from
consular officers, giving statements of the ex-
ports OF various countries TO the United
States show that during the quarter ending
June 80. 1893, the exports Of ever country
decreased to an extraordinary degree, com.
pared with the exports during the cores
ponding period in 1894. Exports from the
United Kingdom alone fell of more than
$4,000. 900 in three months.

armor plate to cover the boat. II will be

make II any heavier on account OF having
such low water. The cruiser will be supplied
with several rapid-hring guns by the govern
