The Turkish. Government announces a, great reform in its tariff.

Formerly all imports paid a duty. of 5 per cent. ad valorem, and all exports -12 per cent. These duties are now equalized; one impost of 9 per cent, being placed on both. The duty on exports, however, is to-be retrace& gradually, by 1 per cent, a year, until it reaches a minimum of 1 per cent.. This redaction will considerably increase the export of Turkish produce, while it improves the revenue.
