CUBAN DUTIES REDUCED ON AMERICAN RUBBER GOODS. 



According to a recent ruling of the Treasurj' Department of 

 Cuba, American rubber goods, which are made in connection 

 with cotton or silk and wool enter into that country at a lower 

 rate of duty than has hitherto been the case. The following 

 paragraph is from the "Cuba Review" : 



"During the preparation of Tariff Series No. 27, Customs 

 Tariff' of Cuba, the question arose whether waterproof fabrics, 

 when originating in the United States, were entitled, by virtue 

 of the reciprocity treaty of December 11, 1902, to the reduction 

 provided for manufactures of the component fibers (30 per cent, 

 in the case of cotton and 40 per cent, in the case of silk and 

 wool), or to the general reduction of 20 per cent, provided for 

 articles not specifically named in the treaty. An inquiry was 

 accordingly instituted, through diplomatic channels, as to which 

 treatment was actually applied. 



"In reply, it is pointed out by the Trea.sury Department of Cuba, 

 under date of November 23, 1911. that heretofore, by virtue of a 

 precedent established in the custom house of Havana, a reduction 

 of 20 per cent, was applied, but that in the future a reduction of 

 30 per cent, will be accorded to waterproof fabrics of cotton, and 

 of 40 per cent, to waterproof fabrics of woo! or silk. The reduc- 

 tion applies to all articles coated with rubber on one or both 

 sides, as well as to those with an interior lining of rubber."
