permitted all goods contracted for ana

TO Indicate by their own statements
whether goous coming in after April
l had been purchased or ordered prior
to that OATS. Some of the importers
have also chung to the belief that this
feature o. The bill would Iail to psss
the Senate, especially In view OF she
recent publications so indicating,
while etiil others have chosen TO take
riske upon being required to pay the
extra uuty In case this feature OF the
bill should become a law.
The result of these conditions ia
that the total impoTtatioDs OF foreign
goods have jumped from 500, 600, 900 In
August, 1896, to SS0,U00,OOU last
month. The most notablp increase
has come from undutiaole articles
which importers know Will soon have
TO pay duty. The impottations OF this
class OF goods have Jumped from
SCI, 200, 900 In August, 1896, to about
S45, 900, 600 In April, 1897.
