31, 1908. Austro-Hungarian order to this effect August 29, 1908. Reichsgesetzblatt, 1908, p. 629. The ratifications are to be exchanged under the treaty by December 31, and the treaty to remain in force therefrom until December 31, 1917. The rates of duty on a large number of articles have been reduced by Servia, these reductions being applicable also to imports from the United States under the most favored nation treaty between the United States and Servia. The articles of interest to American commerce on which reductions have been made are as follows: Flour; cotton-seed oil, pure and mixtures of cotton-seed oil with other fatty oils (from $19.33 to $4.83 per 100 kilos); leather boots, shoes and gloves; manufactures of wood, furniture, paper, glassware; manufactures of iron, agricultural implements, safes and electric motors and apparatus. The reductions in the customs tariff of Austria-Hungary affect chiefly cereals, fruits and live stock. These reductions apply also to imports from the United States.
