New Tariff Illustrated.

Marion, 0., Star. • < M. E. Burke, on the order of a New York hay and grain buyer, had contracted 16 carloads of hay for November shipment, paying the current market price. When the buying had been contracted the New York buyer gave notice to Mr. Burke that Canadian hay -was available in great plenty at $2 less per ton, and he would like his Ohio, purchases cancelled wherever it was possible to do so without loss to the purchasing agent. Thereby the hay crop takes a tumble of $2 a ton. When the new tariff bill was enacted the tariff on was reduced from four dollars ip two dollars a ton. It took farmer just about five dW-s to discover that Canadian hay is closed to New Yprk than Ohio, and with the tariff cut in half the eastern Canadian hay producer had a new market in the States. -
