Tariff Agree- ment Comes Into Effect 23. ~Thousands of crates Am- erica began flowing through French customs houses Monday with the com- ing into effect of the provisional tarift which the French have granted on a long list of goods manufactured in the United States and Canada. Something between $500000 and $1000000 worth of manufactured goods have been tied up for weeks ever since the signing of the France- German commercial treaty was fol- lowed by a rise in the duty of Ameri- can products which resulted in pro- tests from the United States. The new tariff, which will prevail until a commercial agreement can be reached puts the duties on most American ar- ticles back where they were. Most of the American goods tied up during the tariff negotiations were at Havre, while a smaller proportion was at Cherbourg. Boulogne, Marseilles and other ports.
