Prohibitive Duty Is Placed Upon " Foreign Potatoes

OTTAWA, April 2'1.-Changes in Order-in-Council went into efiect yes

terday, although only made public today. The new tariff on potatoes is prohibitive. It is not as heavy on thl other classes on which it is applied

Sharp Increisc

The duty on potatoes was three- quartere oi a cent per pound. A bar- rel of potatoes weighs 180 pounds but contains only 160 pounds of potatoes, but the duty is to be paid on the gross weight of the barrel. Potatoes today are selling in the United Stat- es at 55-50 her barrel, and on this a- bout 3135 duty would have to be paid, making the cost $6.75.

Under the new tarifl‘ now 1n effect a barrel of potatoes will cost $10.80 plus the old duty of $1.25. This is arrived at by fixing the valuation at six cents per pound which would bring the cost of a 180 pound barrel to $10.80. To this must be added the 01d duty Of $1.25. While a, barrel 0f United states potatoes still costs $5.50. the new duty adds $5.80 t4 bring the value up to $10.80 or sir cents per pound on a 180-pound ban rel..
