The New Coverings Clause and Duty Questions 1890

Attorney General Miller holds that the coverings clause does not impose higher duties on merchandise in bond or on shipboard when the 1890 tariff act takes effect August 1. The opinion, supported by Treasury officials, preserves existing ad valorem charges for goods imported before August 1 and in port, preventing retroactive duty increases. Also notes on Post Office clerks gaining leave, eight hour law, and funding cautions.

New York Market Weak Despite Local Decline

The New York market opened weak due to lower London prices from the Argentine Revolution, with no broad rally except copper, where several large holders seek a decline. London has reduced speculative holdings. New York shows overall weakness but not steep selling, while copper remains strong and may shift to stronger hands. Additional notes mention John R. Hoxie investing in Fort Worth stockyards, bank deposit losses in Boston, rising loans, and adjustments in government bond offerings. Industry updates include Missouri Pacific bond rework, Colorado Midland washout repair costs, and Tampico Harbor jetty progress.
