Our latest mail advices from New
York Of the 18th inst show no particu-
lar change in the situation from that
noted above, except increasing signs
of weakness in Raws, which according
10 our Geographic advices have since
been confirmed by the reduction in
prices. Refined is in light demand and
Reiners well caught up on their de-
liveries and running their Refneries
very full.

TARIFF:-The bill is still before the
Senate Finance Committee. and viii
likely receive some important changes
before il is returned TO the Senate as
the high duties imposed have not been
/ favorahly received in this country. and
much less by foreign countries. some
of which have filed protests in Wash
ington against the high duties imposed
on some articles. Germany particular
ly has been most emphatic on this
point
The lates-i Interpretation of the re-
| toactive provision by the Custom
House authorities, is that il will apply
10 all merchandise unless bought and
| ordered shipped by the same party who
is entering ii in this country: in other
words, if cargo afioat prior 10 April
1st is sold after clearance. it will come
in under the new tariff.
On account OF the existing perplex-
ity, refners are not willing TO buy ex-
cept on duty paid terms, and holders
not willing TO sell except on in bond
terms.
There is q probability of much long
er delay in the Senate Committee than
was al first anticipated. and the bill
is not likely 10 reach the Senate until
after the first week in May. The
Sugar Schedule will be the last one
taken up.
