ANTI-BRITISH DUTIES. . (United! '{Press Association—{By Electric ,t " Telegraph—Copyright.) • >• (Received this jay at 11 a.m.) ; ; • ' . LONDON, July 25. De Yal'era has announced that the anti-British'tariffs will ,bc operative on 26th. July. They consist of 5s per ton on coal, twenty per cent, advalorem on cement, electricity apparatus, cables, wireless insulators, iron - and steel .articles; twenty-eight pence per owt/ ,; on sugar, glucosenine pence per ounce ..on .'saccharine. One. .farthing per-rtty or ‘'three pence pet'gallon -on articles' ‘5Ui-ei' 'than sugar, Confectionary cocoa’-pre-{parations, .yniites, tobacco- and spirits containing' sugar . ' 84s per cwt. on pigs, meat and .sausage. 42s per cwt. for pig’s heads, feet and other products, although the duties j*re reduced to 5s and . 28s respectively when from countries within the British Commonwealth, but free if • the property of Ulster farmers and imported ' singly, and lard wh.en required for margarine manufacture. Cheesemaking machinery is taxed one hundred per oent.; although admksable free'under license. 'Potato duties are varied, the preferential rate being withdrawn. ' Except for Ulster, the clauses provide* that .British goods subject to the tariffs, if imported via- other countries, are . subject to penalties for infringements of ! fifty pounds and confiscation of the articles.

The importation of British cheese is -totally prohibited 'to-night. It is explained that the coal, and the twenty p-eir cent', duties are appliable only to imports from Britain. Other duties apply to all . countries except where the- exceptions are specified.

Th'e -Government -explains that the 1 steadily growing influx of cheap CWtin'ental bacon necessitated the preserving of the home market because the Free State farmers found the British market closed after the duties on July 12th. There is much speculation in Dublin as to whether the sudden visit to Lon-: don of Mr Hugo Flynn, Parliamentary Secretary to the: Free .State Ministry of Finance, is a 'Government mission, which is reported to he of utmost importance resulting in the rei-opaning of conversations. ■ -
