vrhlcli the Associated prcismadoin nermnny
last month to ascertain the feolluK of foreign
manufacturers in repird to the McKlnloy
tariff bill , Investigations of n Mmllcr charac
ter Imvo boon made throuRbout Great Britain.
While tha exports to America from cortnln
places show a marked falling off , yet the
totiili for January , February and March this
year ( the lost three months for which figures
are obtainable ) show an Increase over tbo
figures of the snmo months last year. Those
months may bo regarded as the best ones for
comparison alnco the bill went IntoofToct.
In 1890 during those thrco months the rush
to get goods Into America before the bill oe-
catno a law bad tiot yet begun , and , this
year , the same months formed n period when
the rush , with the exception of tin plato , was
over and when business may bo supposed to
have been In a tnoro nonrml condition than at
nny tlmo .smco the pnss.ige of the bill. Tno
declared value of the exports for the llrst
quarter of 1891 , from the consular district of
Great Hritnln and Ireland , nmouotod to over
$ 1(5,000,000 ( , ngalnst f 15,737,711 during the

KfTcct on the Tin Pinto Trad r.
Interviews with several loading manufac
turers and exporters .show that the metal
trade Is the ono principally affected
In the Liverpool diitrlct , and the
tin pluto trade particularly. There is
complete stagnation in this Industry aU pres
ent among buyers. To anticipate the workIng -
Ing of the tariff as far ns practicable , imports
during the six months prior to July 1 , when
the now rate went into effect , woru moro
than enough to supply a year's demand for
tin plate. The big manufacturers hero nro
all hopeful that there will bo a change In the
law before the next presidential election.
One of the loading tin nlata manufacturers
said wo nro making tin plato In fact , but
questioned our being able to mciko It proflt-
'
r ably.Ono
Ono of the largest Liverpool oxrortnrs ,
who has recently been in America to Judge
1 for himself , expresses his opinion
I in this way" : "Tho increased duty
hoi caused stagnation In the tinplate
plato trade. But as wo bad time sufllcicnt
) for us to got twelve months stock landed
before July 1 , wo can afford to wait this your
and do llttlo or nothing else. Trade Is
i now at a standstill with the South Wales
works , " ho continued , "ana the Liverpool
exporters aro- doing nothing except in tinplate
plato for oil cans , etc. The duty does not af
fect this branch of the trade except In the
right side. If the McKlnloy bill Is sustained
after the coming election the English trade
'mast ' bo impaired , but for the present the
afo and only policy to bit pursued by both
manufacturers and men Is to keen the
iprlcen as low as possible hi order to dlscour-
Offo manufacturers In America. A to the
cost I cannot say , although wo are anxious
to know what they find the cost of producing
to bo. "
Thu representatives of other large export
ing firms expressed similar vlows. Ouo of
them added : "Wo need not be afraid of bolna
permanently affeoiod. The now tariff was
Introduced byMoKinley with the object of
creating and stimulating an Industry they
don't possess to any great extent. Ills idea
\vas that by making the duty what
it now Is he would cnablo Ameri
can manufacturers to establish works
which pould profitably produce tin plates
and so gradually drive the British importer
out of the market. But It has been ascer
tained by a deputation who w.J > nt out there
to Inquire , that they cannot possibly do this
unless they put on prices for their manufac
ture as would bo burdensome to tholr cus
tomers. "
Welsh makers , Interviewed at Cardiff ,
admit that the time must coma wbon Ameri
cans will roako their own plates , but they
declare that they fear no Immediate attempt.
Prices at Cardiff bavo greatly decreased and
are now barely remunerative , but the do-
maud is the same as over , all the works
bolug m full operation. It is
Mr also claimed that the demand from America
is just as constant as before tbu introduction
of the tariff. Therefore , the Welshmen say ,
that so far the McKlnloy bill has not affected
the tin plato trade , though Its Indirect effect
has boon to cause prices to decrease. Prices ,
however , are not much lower than prevailed
before the tariff was heard of , and the
Welshmen think that should the time coma
when Americans will make tholr own tin
plates , the Welsh manufacturers are confi
dent of tholr ability to hold their own
against them , no matter how high
a protective tariff they may Impose.
Iron anil Stcol MniiufnoturcrH.
Among the Iron manufacturers at Glasgow
William Jacks & Co. , aud U. U bollgman
were Interviewed. They said the Iron manu
facturers of Scotland are aturosontdlsturood
- by a London syndicate , ana cannot export
inuch Iron , but the principal cause of the lim
ited exportation lies In tbo very largo in-
' crcaso In tna manufacturu of pig Iron In
America , a manufacture which last year sur
passed the production of Great Britain. A
great deal of steel scrap for romoltlng went
to America , but they sav the McKlnloy tariff
has killed this trado. No other kind of steel
has boon exported from Glasgow to the states
for yoaH.
Cotton null AVoolon Fabric * .
Among the toxtllo manufacturers Tomplo-
toit&Co. , Cleveland. Campbell & Co. , Uulo
AGroonloss , John ICnox , Itlgglns , t Prltch-
ard and Huthorford Bros , were soon. There
wa a unanimity of opinion among them that
it Is too soon yet to conclude what shall bo
the full effect or the tariff upon woolen goods.
So far ns the trade has gone , they say , the
tariff looks as If It wcro quite prohibitive.
Certainly the trada In the -lower qualities
will cease. High class woolen goods
will always bo exported , as well-to-do
Americans will Insist on having thorn. A
great trade was done In Oxford and zephyr
ahlrtlngs. This trade wllh America began
even year * ago , but the Americans during
that period have learned co manufacture ,
thorn and the Increased tariff has thoioforo
hit the Glasgow manufacturers In these
goods very heavily. They will therefore )
fiavo to Hud out novelties In order to Induce
exports , America used to Import yarns to
tnnUo lht)30 hlrtliiK , but the tariff has also
killed this trada between Glasgow and
America. In cotton handkerchiefs of the
lower quality the tariff will lujura the Glut-
gow manufacturers , but In tun higher quali
ties they still expect to contlnun tholr t ratio
with America.

Lace curtain * , the duty on which increujoa
from 40 to 00 per cent , were largelv exported
to the states. The manufacturers were busy
before the tariff caum Into foroo , but tlioy
UilnU that If tbo Americans do not put up
machinery the Scotch manufacturer * of these
goods will bo ableto hold their own. Anin -
cmuso of0 per coot would not keep tbo
Americans from purchasing tboia goods of
Scotch manufacturers , but tbo duty may on-
couratre American manufacturers to sot up

turers also think that thu humidity of tholr
Climate will always ! > in tholr favor , a In a
hot cllmato It Is Impossible to * pln nno num
bers of cotton yarns.
Linen trade manufacturers think that no
blow has bocn dealt to the llnon trade by the
tAriff , In fact they bollovo hero that the
Americans cannot weave llnoa goods because
of their climate.
There are great carpet manufacturers In
Glaseow but they nro not much affected by
the tariff. It Is franKly admitted that the
Americans can make carpets as well as the
Scotch , only the latter bellovo that they will
still he able to get u market In the United
States for choice designs and superior work

In Sheffield thorn ara , roughly speaking ,
between ! ! , ( XX > and 1,000 men engaged In sup
plying the American market. For the llrst
few months after the tariff came Into oper.i-
tlon these found great difficulty in obtaining
employment , but recently there has buen a
pcrcopttblo Improvement , In tholr condition ,
co far as the moro valuable goods are con
cerned. The lower priced articles are af
fected , however , very greatly ,
The heads of the well known firm of
Joseph Holers & Sons claim that they have
not been damatfod so much by the opera
tions of the now tariff directly a
by the uncertainty which exists with
regard to future legislation. People will not
buy when the high duties are In oncratlou ,
whllo they stand a chance of being lowered ,
llo remarked that when the McKlnlcy tariff
first oamo into operation trade was piillod
down a groit dual , as the Ilrm exported
would bo the caso. Instead of tnulo becom
ing worse , however , it had gradually Im
proved of late , and ho was or the opinion
that they would bo able to sou the tariff
safely through.
The Sheffield manufacturers claim that the
best cutlery hitherto manufactuied in the
United State * Is not equal to that Imported
for Shi-nield and made by thu hotter known
firms. It Is supposed that the excellence of
Shofflold cutlery is duo to some peculiar
property In the water , but there Is no doubt
that the real cause of the superiority of tbo
stool goods made In that town Is tholr su
periority over the handlcraft-of Americans.
No Kenr * for llio Knliirr.
Mr. Kogors states that high class goods
always find n ready market in the United
States or elsewhere , and ho believes that the
American- tariff has had a moro disastrous
effect upon German wares than upon the
cutlery which Sheffield Is exporting to Amor-
Ica. Upon the lower prlcud goods , In Sheffield
as well as Germany , the tariff has operated
prejudicially , the specific duty on so much
ad valorem hitting manufacturers of these
classes of wares very hard. In answer to a
question concerning the ultimate recovery of
the American market by Sheffield ilrms , Mr.
Itogors said : "Wo are smiling now , and
there Is hope for the future. The McKlnloy
tariff may have troubled us to begin with ,
but It does not trouble u ? now. Things are ,
however , uncertain. It the McKlnloy tariff
stays our trade will be oven bettor than it Is
at present because there would not bo so
much uncertainty "
Rogers further explained that had It not
boon for the Sheffield aud Sollngon firms
rushing stocks Into tbo states just previous
to the passairc of the McKlnloy bill there
would , In his opinion , have been a moro
speedy recovery. Spooking generally , ho
said ho firmly believed that , although trade
bad not risen to the former standard ,
prospects had greatly brightened and manu
facturers lu Sheffield were Increasingly hopo-
ful.
Manchester Not n Sufferer.
While some parts of the neighboring coun
try have suffered severely from the effects of
ttio now tariff , this cannot bo said of Lan
cashire. Inquiry among the principal firms
In Manchester , who directly or indirectly
may bo said to represent Lancashire In this
matter , reveals that the McKlnly tariff has
produced no alarming results In the Man
chester district. The principal reason is that
a very small part of the exports of
Lancashire cotton goods went to tbo United
States before the new tariff came
into operation , the exaot proportion
being onlv 4 per cont. Iho trade
In the coarser cotton fabrics had boon prac
tically lost before the McKlnloy tariff was
made. The United States has proved before
tnat time that they could spin , wcayo and
bleach the coarser qualities of goods in any
quantity and In paying conditions. Not only
had they supplied their own wants , but they
had created a considerable shipping trade
with outside countries. Manchester still
claims to keep the lead In what may bo called
the superior class of goods , and to retain , in
spilt ) of the tariff , Its business iu the best
qualities of cotton dress materials.
Hullt up Another Trnilp.
At the beginning of the year trade was
greatly depressed by the tariff , but the Leeds
manufacturer ! ) say that thov have built up a
trade with tholr own colonies and with Italy ,
which compensates thorn for the loss In the
United States. The year , so far , has been
freer from failures than In many preceding
years , and the liabilities less tban 50 percent.
The head of ono of the largest firms in re
ply to questions said : "Wo have done a
largo trndo for the last twonty-flvo years
with America both in the bolter and medium
makes of goods. Since the now tariff wo
have ceased making the medium or cheap
kinds of fabrics and having given our
attention to light cloths for which ivo can
do a brisk trade despite tho.tariff. For
heavy goods wo do not rocolvo
many orders , as the weight Is
against us with the present tariff , butler
lor shipping goods we are as busv as
over. Americans cannot compete with us ,
either In style , quality or price in light goods
For common goods , such as serges , tweeds
and cotton wraps , wo stand no cbanco with
the present tariff , and there I : an end of this
class of trade so fur as America Is concerned.
Other markets , however , have been found ,
Canada taking moro than she dlil.
Some firms ongngod in ready-mode juvonllo
clothing are of the opinion that they will bo
able to meet the tariff at a profit , and as win
ter approaches arrangements will have boon
completed to try the experiment.
Ilraiiroril'H Trade Hurt : .
According to Bradford manufacturers , the
effect of the tariff upon exports to the
United States 1ms so far proved oven moro
prejudicial to the Bradford trade than was
anticipated. And though , upon careful
examination of the monthly returns of ex
ports from July , 18W , to July , Ib'JI , it
appears that ouo or two of Iho larger depart
ments ara showing some improvement , from
an Englishman's point of vluw , the fact
remains that there has boon a decrease in the
aggregate value of declared exports of
ovcry kind from Bradford to the United
States. Iu May , Juno and July last , by
comparison with thoio thrco months In 181)0 ) ,
it was , taking tbo total decrease of threa
months , larger by 100.000 than that during
October , November ana December.
The representative hero of the American
house , which 1ms about the largest dealings
with Bradford , says ho thinks that when
business cots into the normal condition hero
the reduction of the volume of business with
the United States will not amount to moro
than twonty-ilvo per cent.
The head of the largest mercantile liouso
in Bradford says the sustained falling off
ofotportsof stuff goods , vtorstod coatings
and seals and plushos , the three loading
manufacturers , bus buon larger than any
body hero oxpoctod. It was not thought that
the diminution of these classes would , after
the llrst three months , exceed one-third , but
it was moro than 50 per cent , taking the
three together , last July , and that was by
far the most favorable comparison for Brail-
ford which has been made sluco the now tariff
commenced.
Sootoli HurlnpH.
At Dundee representatives of Messrs , Cox
Bros. , Grammomi , Gatlroy Sons , Scott Sons
and others were Interviewed. The general
opinion expressed Is , however , that the effect
of the MoKmloy tariff In Dundee and the sur
rounding district has been In the linen trade
to cause manufacturers to use much smaller
sized yarns and to send to America much
higher priced goods. There Is , they say , In
many markets a demand for linens or useful
aud cheaper makes. The now tariff prevents
such goods from bolng sent , as the duty falls
with Us prohibitive force upon the ordinary
domestic linens. In Jute goods there Is , upon
stuplo manufacturers of Dundee , only a very
slight change , but the abolition of the duty
on raw jute , a duty of about ill a ton upon a
fibre which sells at . 10 to 13 per ton , may
in the end create a Jute Industry lu America ,
this , however , has not had timer , s yet to glvo
conlldonco to capitalists. To erect works in
America Is , In the opinion of Dundco manu
facturers , a great peril. Capital , they say , Is
shy to risk to build upon a foundation so un-
stnblo. A popular vote , they arpua , may
change all the conditions on which such a
trada Is built up. In the meantime , the
very largo American wheat crop with the
deficient crop In Kuropo requires the niovo-
uiont ot much grain from the United States
to Kurope and , therefore , tbo demand for
British made burlaos ls very groat.
Conmil General Ncw'a Opinion.
The most Interesting aud important state
to America In eonnoiitlon with thU In
vestigation wcro obtained from tlic Hun ,
John C. New , consul general of the United
Status at London , who was asked by thu As
sociated press I'on-OMiomlent what wore the
affects of tliu tariff act on the export trade In
London und Great Britain. General Now
said :
" 1 cnn only plvo you the facts that hn o
como tinder mv observation In my own ofttco
and these that Imvo boon reported to mu liv
thocoastiU under my jurisdiction. For the
six mouths ending Juno : ) , of this year there
was u falling off of about 10 per cent In the
number of Invoices nt the commute general
and decrease of from 10 to ! . " > per cent In the
value of the exports , as comp.tred with tbn
corresponding months of IS'Ji ' ) . During
the iinmo period the reports from all
consulates In Great Britain showed a marked
decrenso In exports of sucn articleas sllk ,
line worsted arcss goods , line unions which
nro cottons and linen mired goods wool ,
camel' * hair goods and manufacturers of Iron
and .stcol , amounting approximately to fifty
per cont. while the decrease In the value of
cutlery exported amounts to about sixty per
"Havo there been any articles the Importa
tion of which nai Increased ! "
"Tin plato , for Instance , has doubled and
unmanufactured wools , with an Increased
duty , have largely Increased. Hemp and flax ,
with a decreased'duty. Is doubled ; and drugs
also , with n decreased duty , have nonrlj'
doubled. Thcsa articles reduce the
average of decrease/ the whole volume of
exports from Great Britain very materially
and , t.Ucon in connection with tha articles
which Imvo boon added to tno free list under
the tariff net , the exportation of which has
largely Increased , It would appear that there
Is no great paralysis of trauo between our
country and this. "
"Do you think the trade will continue to
decrease I"
" 1 take Itthat the trada of this country
with the United States will increase in pro
portion as our population Increases , and that
Great Britain need have no fear of the
healthy competition of American manufac
turers , who are protected by the tariff only
against the lower wages on this side of the
wutor. "
During some further general discussion of
this subject and not In reply to specific ques
tions ns to details , Consul General Now
said to the correspondent :
"It Is noticeable that the exports ot mater
ials for manufacturing tha cheaper grades of
goods , which are used by the worldngmcn
bavo not decreased , but have increased ,
whllo the exports of such goods ns sillcs , line
worsted dreus good , Unions mid flue woolens ,
camels and goat hair good have fallen off ,
which goes to show tbo effect of the tariff ,
being a bonoflt rather than a hardship to the
laborers in the United States. Kngland may
suffer somewhat but America has certainly
gained by the result.
"This is n free tr.ido country because the
English are manufacturers and not producers
and they necessarily have to got their sup
plies from other countries.
"Manufacturers hero must sell everything
that they make , and tbo adverse Interest to
our country Is only because of a dcsiro to
protect homo manufacturers and develop
homo markets , and boc.uiso a homo market
moans tor America mouths to fuod and bodies
to clothe. "

PRICES MOVE THE WORLD.
The world is principally devoted to trade , and as prices rule trade
they may be said to move the earth. This , at least , is the theory on
which we co'nduct our business. It makes a difference in buying cloth
ing whether you consider price only or quality of material and work
manship. Some clothing is dear at any price. We sell only the best.
OVERCOATS , LIGHT WEIGHT.
The prices advertised last week on Fall Overcoats brought many
purchasers. We will continue the sale of MELTON OVER
COATS in different shades , at
$8.50 , $10.00 , $12.00 and $15.00.
NEW SUITS.
For business and dress uncqualed by any previous production from
$10 to $20. Don't purchase without taking a look through our stock.

Much dissatisfaction has been caused by
the acts of President Baron Son ft von Pil-
sack. The currency question is tbo burning
Issue of the hour. A Gorman firm imported
a number of silver marks from Germany
some time ago and wished to pass thoui at
gold value In the payment of taxes , olc. Most
of these coins are old marks of Wurtomburg
and olhersmall principalities. The residents
objected to them , as they cannot pass thorn
except at a discount in America or the cole
nies. The president , however , Insisted that
they bo received. The king and the govern
ment would not take them , but the president
again ordered tlioai to do so or Germany
would bo angry. They again refused , but

and tbo question remains open.
