Tariff l.f Ulatlon Rumor Caused a
iieutral Alarai.
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.
