IMPORTATION OF TIN-PLATE.

(Philadelphia Record.] The imports of tin-plate for April, 1891, were 93,782,039 pounds, valued at $3,392,274. This was nearly double the quantity imported in April, 1890. The imports for May and June will probably be still heavier. Several vessels are now on their way to this port with large consignments. If they should fail to reach their < estination before July 1 the duty to be paid would be more than doubled. Superintendent Warren is attending the State Convention of Superintendents at Indianapolis this week.
