EFFECT OF U.S. REGULATIONS.

Messrs Pontreith & Co. have kindly forwarded us the following letter dated May 11. from Hornby Hemelryk & Co., Liverpool.

The chief feature during the past work has been the proposal which has been approved by the U.S.A. Senate Financo. for an import tax of be. per tb. The proposal comes before the Senate to-morrow after which it will have to be submisted to Congrows for confirmation.

The affect of these proposals was to cause a sharp upward turn in New York which enabled arbitrage business to be transacted for very prompt shipment from London and Liverpool, and we understand that several thousand tons, are being shipped on Friday to America,

The Lafuence on prices in Lou- don has been negligible, but the premium on forward deliveries has contracted, which renders carrying business impossible at the present lovels.

But I doubt who ther Hearne will score fast enough, and the young hopefuls, therefore, soon wil be striving to pick a hole somewhere. At last they have it. They are told to get their left foot to the pitch of the ball when they can reach it. No wonder Hearne scores alowly; he always plays
