CANADA'S TARIFF.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH U.S.A. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received June 12, 5.5 p.m. Ottawa, June 11. The Hon. W. S. Fielding states that | the tariff negotiations between Canada and the United States will be begun in the autumn, when the Ministers reassemble. The spirit which President Taft and Mr. Knox manifest affords grounds for hoping that better trade relations will be possible, but whether or not the move succeeds in Canada the feeling is that the Dominion is bound to respond to the United States' friendly approaches. TARIFF. IMPORTANT INCLUSIONS. Received June 13, 12.45 a.m. Ottawa, June 11. It is officially announced here that Belgium will be admitted to the intermediate tariff on all products, similar to French products, covered by the FrancoCanadian treaty.
