the Canadian fruits commence to
mature, Maryland viii find the new
situation a highly profitable one.
Melons are at pr sent taxed Sc each
by the Dominion, irrespective Of
whether they be watermelons or
muskmelons- This duty has proven
almost prohibitive in the case OF the
smaller melon, and has even operat-
ed to exclude the famous Pocamoke
eanteloupes from tie canadian market
Maryland fruit growers have frequent.
ly petitioned our Department of State
for relief from the Canadian tariff
rates on melons and other fruit, and
it was with these requests in mind
that the Canadian commission was
prevailed upon TO concede, with
much reluctance, the removed of all
duties from fresh fruits entering
Canada from this country. Grapes,
as well as berries of all kinds, are
now taxed &c per pound by Canada.
Apples sent to the Dominion are
dutiable at 40c Per barrel, peaches at
sl.00 per 100 pounds, pears at 50c
per 100 pounds, and plums at sOc
per bushe'. The well-kaown high
quality Of Msryland's grapes, pears,
and peaches viii tend to give these
products an immediate sale in Canada
so soon as the tariff barries shall BE-
done away with. Even under III,
present tariff sta.us the United States
sold fresh fuits to Canada to value
Of s1,27l,O01 DUNG Canasa's last
fiscal year, laying import duties
thereon to the sum Of s261, 900.
