MANY CHANGES MADE IN WOOL
Many and important changes were
made in the wool and wooden schedule
as passed by the House. First class
woods were reduced from II cents per
pound, as provided In the House bill,
to 8 cents per pound and second class
wools from le to Q cents, whereas the
duties on woods OF tho third class were
raised. Tho dividing line in this lat
ter class was placed at 10 cents value,
woods under that value being made
dutiable at tho rate Of cents per
pound instead Of 30 per cent ad va
loren as In the House bill. Woods val
ued at more than 10 cents per pound
were placed at 2 cents per pound in
stead Of so per cent ad valorem. The
wool growers failed to secure oil the
changes which they desired in classif-
cation. but IL Is understood that all
tho rates fixed on woods themselves
are satisfactory to them. Skirted
woods Of the first class as imported in
1890 and prior to that date are required
to pay cent per pound in addition to
the rates imposed by this act on I'M

stricken out and substitutes provided
for them.
