IT IS interesting to see in what per-
 ticulHr sFticlss the people who were
 trying to avoid paying the new duties
 under the Dingley law especially dealt.
 Take the matter of live animals for
 instance. The value of the live ani-
 msls imported in the month of July, 1897, amounted to S354, ,00O, GOO, while
 ID July, 1896, they amounted to only S73 100000. The cstsle imported iu
 July, 1897, numbered 27,74O, while iu
 July, 1896, they numbered only 3.071.
 This was the last chance of the import
 CTS to gougs the farmers by rushing in
 Mexican cattle ct ths low rates of the Wilson law, and by underwriting them, bringing them in almost free of duty. The number of sheep imported in July, 1897, was 39 ,994, sggipet 4,O7S in July of the preceding year. The importstione of raw cotton duripg July, 1897, amount ed to 6 .595. .908 pounds, against 1,764, 1oO in July Of the preosding year, this be- ing due doubtless to the expectation that tue duty on cotton which was placed in the bill by the Senate would be retained by the Conference Commit tee. The increase in cotton cloths WEE also strongly marked, though not as great ss in raw cotton, the quantities in July. 1897, being ?, PSI. .OOO l yards, agains. 1,S44, $50 in July, 1896. | The increase in the duty on vegetable | fibre. such as flax, hemp, etc., ssimu- lated the dealers in that class of goods | to unu.ual activity, the July imports of this class amounting to s1,4OO,OOO, sgrinss s9OO,OOO of the corresponding month of last yeer.

THE lasb months work ct the ins port CTS under the Wilson tariff Is shown in detail by the official publication of the Bureau of s 5etietics, entitled '.Mcuthly Summary of Finarce and Commerce of the United States" It shows that the importers neglected DC opportunity in that closing month to either pus money on their oEn pocket or take away from the Dsngiey law it's corning capacity during its first flaw months. The im- portetion into the United States in the month of July, 1897, amounted to s53.~ 790 407, Of which very large proportion was made up of articles which could come in at lower rates uodsr tbe Wilson law than under the Dipgley law, which they knew would go into operation by the close of that month. One special feature of the Wilson lsw YVES its effort to bring in free of duty what is usually termed raw mateFia!"-thet is mat eriel in crude condition for use in manufacturing. The July, 1897, i'm portetion of this particular class of er- ticles was double tbas Of July, 1897, while in the seven months ending with July, 1897, the increase in free raw nat erial amounted to s55. .000,oOO, OF an in- crease Of over fifty per cent for he en- tire seven month Of the calendar yesr
