an ad 'valorem to a weight tariff is greatly to the advantage of Russian goods,
as cottons of Indian origin are comparatively much heavier than those coming
from Russia, and will now lose the benefit derived from better methods of pro
duction which they enjoyed so long as Russian goods, which are more expen
sive, had to pay an ad 'valorem duty at the port of entry. As regards exports,
the rates on grains of various descriptions which go to British possessions have
been increased by percentages varying from 3^ to 20 per cent, while correspond
ing articles of export to Russia on the Caucasian frontier, such as dried fruits,
raisins, almonds, etc., are exempted altogether from duty. Cotton, which is
only taken by Russia, is to be exported free, while opium, practically all of
which is exported to British possessions, will have an increase of 8 per cent, on
the present tariff.
