G. by Examiner G. H. Godfrey, and said article being appraised on the basis of the American selling price in accordance with the Presidential proclamation published in T. D. 47031.

> (3) That upon the dates of exportation to the United States of the merchandise covered by these appeals, like or similar merchandise manufactured or produced in the United States was being freely offered for sale and sold to all purchasers in the principal. market of the United States in the ordinary course of trade and in the usual wholesale quantities, including all. containers and coverings and all costs, charges, and expenses incident to placing the merchandise in condition packed Teady for delivery, at the following prices per dozen cans or tins, less a cash discount o*f*per centum:

> *5-ounce she*

> June 1, 1935, to November 30, 1936._$0. 90

> (4) That the record in said Reap. Dec. 5950 may be incorporated herein and that upon this stipulation these appeals may be deemed submitted, they being limited to the items marked A on the invoices and abandoned as to all other merchandise.

On the agreed facts I find the American selling price, as that value is defined in section 402 (g) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise described on the invoices as clams in 5-ounce cans or tins, and marked A and initialed GHG by Examiner G. H. Godfrey, and that such values, for merchandise exported during the specified periods, are as follows:

> *5-ovmce size*17. *S. dollars per dozen*

> March 16, 1941, to June 30, 1941.... 1. 05J cash discount.

The appeals having been abandoned insofar as they relate to all nther merchandise, to that extent the appeals are hereby dismissed.

Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
