MAY KEEP OUT OUR FLOUR,
Import Duties Increased by the Legis-
lative Council at Antigua.

United States Consul Hunt at Antigua
w. l., reports to the State Department.
that there is likely to be a serious falling
off in the demand there for American -four
which has been the basis of an extensive
trade with the island. This is caused by
the sudden change in the tariff made by
the legislative council. November IS ma
terialIy increasing the import duties on
certain products including -four and bread
The change was made to take effect i'm
mediately SO that LOCAL importers with
heavy stocks in bond found themselves
mulcted in many thousands of dollars
The increase of the tax upon flour amount
ed in reality to about thirty-tWo cents Der
barrel and other articles in proportion.
The prediction is ventured that the result
will be a diminution in the consumption OF
bread, as the people can not afford 10 pay
a higher price.
Another tariff change is reported to the
department by Vice Consul Baruch a. San
Salvador. He says that by decree of No
vember "A the duties on foreign merchan-
disc in San Salvador are increased forty
per cent. In addition, the system of pay
ments is changed so that the customs
duties will be collected fifty per cent in sill
yer instead of twenty per cent in gold. The
export tax on coffee is removed.
Minister Sa nDson, al Quito sends a law
just passed py the EQuadorlan congress, re-
moving all import duties on machines and
machinery intended for the encourageme
of agriculture and manufactures and sUs-
pending for two years the import duties on
cotton, ginned and ungfnned.
Minister Merry, at San Jose, reports that
the Nicaraguan government has annulled
the tariff law of September. 1S9s, leaving
the previous law in force.

"BEGGARING THE BUSINESS,
American Manufacturers. SaIr;nr
Abroad Unnecessarily Low

American manufacturers who are reach
ing out for foreign trade are making a seri-
Gus mistake, in the opinion of United States
Consul Halstead at Birmingham, in cutting
prices unnecessarily. He cites the case OF
American nuts and bolts, which, he shows,
are quoted in England at from two to four
pounds below the cost of the British arti-
Giles, although fully equal to the latter in
quality. He says that it might be reason
able to underbid the British manufacturer ;
or even 10 shilhngs, but asks why We sh I'D
beggar the markets of the world by SASH
ing prices in this way. Every time an
American manufacturer sells nuts and bolts
abroad at two pounds less than the British
price, there is a loss to the American seller
OF about IS shillings of possible profit, and
every time the British price is broken four
pounds per ton there is a loss of possible
and reasonable profit of seventy shillings or
S1703 a ton.
The consul argues that if ever a trade
trust was right, il would seem to be legit
innate to form one now in the bolt and
nut business of the United States. in order
to handle and protect the export tr-d 3. The
English achieved their success as trade 5
by fixing their prices at what they could
get, and not on the cost of manufacture
plus some significant profit. Says the con-
sui: This beggaring of business, these I'M
necessarily low prices, this absurd under
taking on the part of Americans, is con-
stantly brought to my attention here, and
1t is so foolish that it is sometimes fairly
heartrendine

MEAT SCARCE IN GERMANY.
Effect of Restrictions Imposed Upon
ImpOrtations.

The restrictions imposed by Germany
upon the importation of meat are produc-
ing the results which might be expected
says Consul Albert at Brunswick. There f.
loud cutlery from all parts of the country
about the high prices and scarcity of mea:
The consul quotes from German news
paper to show that since the Introduction of
swine the use of meat among the workmen
has diminished one-third. Whenever a piece
OF meat comes on the family table it is so
small that 1t suffices for the satisfaction of
only the man. The present conditions. IT
Is predicted, will work an injury to the ca
pacity for labor and the power of endur-
ance of the growing generation. The con-
butchers to show the extent of the demand
for an abatement of the meat exclusion
laws. and then says:
1t is apparent from these extracts that
the population of Germany is increasing
more rapidly than the means of subSisi-
ence. In regard to the supply of meat
there can be no question. Germany cannot
supply the demand. In nv opinion
Germany is rapidly reaching the position
held by England before the abolition of the
corn laws. Under the influence of a pro-
tecuve tariff, Industrial energy enterprise
mas increased immensely. Germany now
rivals the United States and England in
manufactures: but, unlike the United
states, ii has not the provisions and bread
stuffs for its home consumption with a
surplus for other nations"
