New York, Maroli 13. The World j says: j i The dispatch from Washington pre- i dieting that emigre at its Bpecial se- ; sion will at once increase the revenue by adding from 10 to 85 per cent to the ! schedules of the Wilson bill, has created a small pauio among iai porters, und au almost unprecedented rush to get bond ed goods out of the warehouses before ; ' the increaso takes effect. j The proposed summary action of con-pre.--? has taken merchants completely by surprise. While they were prepared for a special session to pass a new tariff bill, they expected that the new bill would occupy the attention of congress for at least six months, which would give them ample time to withdraw the 19,500,000 of good which were in ' i bond on January 31. It had never oc curred to them that congress might adopt a temporary measure for increas ing the revenue, and the possibility of : : such a thing, with only about ten days to get their goods out of bond, at the j present rate of duty, caused a genuine sensation. It is understood that But terlicld & Co., and other importers of dress goods are among the heaviest withdruwers. In hanking circles there is a greatly increased demand for loans on call pa , per. One bank made a loan of 500,- j 000 to a big importing firm for the pnr- I poe of withdrawing goods from bond, 1 and the payment of duties thereon. aiml hy lilt Ylothrr-ln I. aw.
