EFFECTS OF NEW TARIFF.
London Paper Publi.hcs Reports From
Industrial Ccntrcs.

London. December lA.--The Times
to-day published reports from leading
commercial and Industrial centres IN
the United Kingdom upon the. actual
or prospective effect OF the underwood
tariff on British trade with the United
States.
In a majority OF the towns from
which reports were received no appre-
ciable expansion OF business has been
experienced, but in several places. nota-
bly, Leeds, Dundee and Belfast. the
lowering of the tariff has been given n
distinct hlip 10 trade. In all: how
ever, there is an expectation or great
i'm frovcment in the future.
Among reasons assigned ior the alb,
scnce OF increased trade arc the short
period the tariff has been in operation,
the fact that large stocks Of British
exports wero held in bond IN the
United States pending the passage OF
the tariff bill the determination Of
American firms to keep prices up until
boarded stocks are sold. and the gen
cral deadness of the American markets.
owing TO the Mexican trouble and the
disturbance caused by projected cur
rcncy and banking reforms.
