According to our Canadian correspondent some increases have also been made in 
the Canadian tariff and details are as under: 
Canapa Tarirr.—Special Telegram received by us from Toronto, Ont., May 10, 
1921.—The budget was brought down last night and proposes new sugar duties in cents 
per pound as follows:

Sugars over 16 Dutch Standard imported by Refiners were assessed a higher duty 
than the 96° sugars under 16 D. 8., but under the new West Indian Trade Agreement 
Refiners can import washed sugars which may be over 16 D. S. at the same duty as the 
96° testing sugars. In other words, there is no penalty imposed for sugars bright in color 
and the only basis on which the duty will be assessed will be the actual polariscopic test.
