Shanghai, Dec. 22. Reports are freely circulating in usually well-informed circles in Tientsin, according to a report from that city, that a number of changes in Customs tariffs for North China are at present under consideration.

It is understood that last month the Peiping Provisional Government authorities drew up a list of items RENZEN DEN the importation of which it was pro- posed to restrict drastically. The ilst is said to comprise 05 numbered sections, including all luxuries.

The German Chamber of Com- merce reports that it has obtained an advance ilst which, it is stated, would later be made available to other im- porters.

The authorities in close touch with the Provisional Government denied the reports when they were first eirculated, and since the announce- of the American credit loan to ment of the Chinese Government and the re- ported impending British loan, re- ports of a revisión of the Customs

Imports into Tientsin have

in- creased heavily during recent months and Customs revenue has rocketed. The increases are generally believed to indicate, firstly, that goods are again reaching consumers in the Interior, secondly, that importers in- creased their stocks owing to fears of extreme restrictions against im- ports, and, thirdly, uncertainty over the currency situation resulted in goods being hoarded in preference to cash.Reuter.
