Many and important changes were
made by the senate tariff sub-commit-

passed by the house. First class wooh

as provided in the house bill, to cents
per pound and second class woods from
ls 70 cents, whereas the duties on
wools Of the third class were raised.
The dividing line in this latter class
was placed at 10 cents value, woods un-
der that value being made dutlable at
the rate OF cents per pound. Instead OF
81 per cent ad Yaiorem as In the house
bill. Woods valued at more than 10
cents per pound were placed at ceuN
