Thus the duty on silk spun in skeins, etc., is put at 15 per cent.; the present duty is 35 per cent, and the value of the imports $1,093,384. This amount should be deducted from the total for silk. The duty on woolen yarn Is changed from 63.70 to 15 per cent. The value of the imports is $710,537, which should he deducted from the total for woolens. The value of the imports of pig iron and scrap iron should be deducted from the total of Iron and steel. The table is slightly Inaccurate in other ways, but will serve to give an idea of the rates of duties.
