TAX NOTES.

Great Britain derives a revenue of $1,200,000 yearly from the sale of revenue stamps that must be put upon all packages of patent medicines. The Russian government will shortly impose a special duty upon foreign goods conveyed from one Russian port to another in foreign vessels. It is proposed in France to impose a tax of ten centimes for 1,000 francs upon time bargains on the Bourse. This tax is expected to yield 12,000,000 francs, which would help to cover the deficit resulting from the reform of the liquor tax.
