ECUADOR HAS NEW TARIFF
Eject on Trade with
United states.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o-Ecuator has
proclaimed a new tariff schedule which has
just reached the State department and will
become effective November !. The schedules
provide for a complete reclassification and
make reductions on some classes Of goods
sent from the United States to Ecuador,
but make no marked alterations on the
chief exports from this country to Ecuador.
A reduction of about l cent pound Is
made on manufactured steel, iron. brass,
bronze, copper and tin. Flour and lard are
the chief exports from this country to
Ecuador and on these products there is no
change in duty.
The American flour trade with Ecuador
shows a marked increase. In 1904 1t was
sl5e,sn and year later the total was s27s.-
or The exports to Ecuador from the
United States for 1906 aggregated u,75o,0oo
and the imports from Ecuador were $780,
oOo
A curious feature Of the new tarin act In
Ecuador Is that Il permits cabinet members
to enjoy exemption from duty on goods
they Import for their own use.
