Delay in Tariff Bill Sparks Sugar Duties Debate
Washington March 8 Special says a House tariff bill is unlikely before April 1 and will hinge on sugar duty cuts. Some favor large reductions, up to 40 percent, with raw sugars admitted at a moderate duty, while others push for minimal changes to protect revenue. The committee considers free raw materials to aid shipbuilding, extending duty exemptions to materials for iron and steel vessels, but revenue loss remains a concern alongside possible sinking fund suspensions.

Straws From State Street in Tumbling New York Market
The New York market was less active but firm overall after the bank statement news. Sugar weakened on dividend doubts amid a stronger undertone. Eastern rose to 151 on solid buying as consolidation progresses. Knowles predicted lower prices for early 1890, with some insiders endorsing Oregon & Transcontinental and Pacifics for a long hold. The New York bank statement was harsh, cash declined, and Treasury bond purchases may rise next week. Sugar Trust largely silent as court actions unfold and the Central Trust mails notices offering unsubscribed funds under the M. K. L. reorganization. Zimmerman & Forshay moved large sums of Mexican dollars and silver by steamer.
