BUTTER FOR VENEZUELA.

From the N. Y. Mail and Express.
Two young men from northern New
York went to Venezuela several years
ago to look about for opportunities.
After a couple of weeks in Caracas, they
reached the conclusion that what the
people OF that city wanted was butter
good, luscious, yellow butter, such as
the young men themselves had been
accustomed to all their lives up in Clin-
ton county. They pitied the VenezueI-
ans who knew only the taste of the
canned fresh butter from Copenhagen,
which had been in vogue for more than
8 generation, and straightway they set

free of duty, and the butter-makers set
to work.
The product was all that could be de-
sired from an American standpoint 1t
was really delicious butter-to an
American palate-but the Venezuelans
would have none of it. To the intense
establishment of the young men the

polite explanation that the canned but

NEW MADAGASCAR TARIFF.
Of Course the Consumer Pays the Tax
COTTON Doubles in Price.

Washington, June Full information
concerning a new tariff promulgated in
Madagascar by order of the French gov
eminent has been received here. The
new law became effective on April %
last, the tax being levied on articles for
consumption only. 1t is Independent of
all customs duties and municipal taxes.
The only effect which the tax has on
present importations from the United
States lies in the per cent tax on the
value of tissues. American cotton having
already responded with an advance in
price there of from s1.2O to 50 per bale,
and in 0193 per kilO, or 2.2O46 pounds Cn-
Guiding weight of PACKAGE, on kerosene
oil, which is practically equivalent to
from so per cent to IS per cent increase
on the cost of oil to the local consumers
in Madagascar.
