Final Protocol Agreed. China Tariff Steps Toward Free Rice and Flour
Washington reports the draft final protocol sets a 5 percent ad valorem tariff two months after signing, with flour and cereals now in China’s free list alongside rice and bullion. Rockhill notes cereals and flour are free, aiding American wheat and flour exports, which reached 2.3 million in 1899, nearly double the prior year, while Pacific coast groups pressed against duties on flour. The measure aims to ease China’s staple rice needs amid recurring famines.
