INCREASE IN DUTIES.
Oats and Hay Coming from Canada
under New Tariff.

The figures for the month of March
showing the amount of business done in
the customs district of Vermont were
given to a Free Press reporter Thursday
by Collector Charles II. Darling. A re-
markable fact about them is that the
duties collected In the month are about
$4,000 in excess of the amount collected
during the month Of March the preceding
year. when the old tariff was in effect
The duties collected last month amount
ed to s60,994.9s as against s5O96S.S2 in
March, 1913. The reason for the larae
collection seems 10 be in the fact that
the importations of oats have greatly in
creased under the revised tariff. The
old tariff charged IL cents per bushel,
which was almost prohibitive. and the
revised tariff is five cents per bushel.
About $4,000 of the Cuties collected last
month was on oats and about 81. 900 wal
on hay.
The value OF importations in March
was sl,lS9,933 as against $517, 423.73 OF
March of 1913 The March exports were
S52,9Ji as against s959,657 In March OF
1913
An interesting comparison of the GUS
toms business OF the quarter ending
March 81 with that Of the quarter ending
March 81 in 1913 Is as follows: Duties
collected. 1914, $l62, 954.7 70; in 1913 sl70,S7 81

THE KEEL CANAL.

It is expected that the enlarged water
way connecting the Baltic and North
seas will be op2ued to navigation as
early as April, 1914. The work Of i'm
provement, which has cost more than the
building Of tho original canal in 1887,
will enable the pas. age of the largest
battleships. The German Emperor prob
ably will accomplish this for the first time
by personally commanding the main
German battle fleet through the canal
that bears his name (Kaser Wilhem).
The rman canal will have locks s.
feet longer 37la feet broader and of four
feet greater draught than those of Pam
ANA, and will accommodate a 60.O0-ton
battleshiD should such a ship be built In
the future. Thee is room. and %" feet
to spare, in them for the newest and
biggest ocean liners of the "Imperator'
and "Aqutania" class. so that ample pro-
vision has been made for possible de-
velopments of commercial navigation al

The existing canal was opened in 1895.
It runs from Kiel, on the Baltic. 10

distance from tn sea. and cuts off the
long anu rather ndZdruDuS passage
through the Cattegat and around the
northern end OF Denmark. It jumped IN

highway. and was used by about 90Oo0
vessels during its first year. The traffic
steadily grow, the canal being traversed
in 1912 by 1856 ships of 9,9o4237 total net
tons, a traffic larger than that Of the
Suez canal.
To the German navy # was of nestim-
able advantage enabling the entire fleet
to proceed from one Sea to the other in
a few hours. With the advent of Dread

lost, as the old locks, 300 feet LONG So
