In the far west, little interest is manifested in tariff legislation, notably at Denver and Helena, where silver attracts more at¬ tention. Portland fears the result in the reduction of the tariff on lumber, but at San Francisco an improve¬ ment in demand is expected aud con¬ siderable freight is offering for ship¬ ment to China. “A feature is found in declarations from manufacturers of woolen goods, glassware, pottery and iron and steel at various centers of production, that wages will probably be reduced. “Aside from the probable improve¬ ment due to the ending of the uncer¬ tainty in business, neither Boston, Providence, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Newark nor Rochester mer¬ chants interviewed express noteworthy enthusiasm ns to the trade prospect. While no gain is reported in trade circles at southern cities, several thous¬ and coal strikers have gone back to work in the Birmingham district, sev¬ eral southern railways are calling for more coal and southern iron works are shipping more iron than a year ago.

Demand for shipment west to move and carry the crops has begun to exert an appre¬ ciable influence.” WHEN IT WILL TAKE EFFECT. Importers Get Information from the Treasury Department. A Washington special says: Doubt still exists in the minds of many im¬ porters as to the assessment of duty on goods arriving in this country prior to or the day the tariff bill becomes effective, but not formally entered until after the bill has become a law. In reference to this confusion it is ex¬ plained at the treasury department that the bill will not go into effect un¬ til the day after the president’s signa* ture is affixed or the law becomes op¬ erative through the expiration of the ten days’ l imit.
