The increase in duties received for the week was
about five times as large as the increase in the aggre-
gate value of merchandise imported. Upon an increased
importation of 127,189 dollars in dutiable goods, the
duties were 42,652 dollars. Under the new tariff there
has been a great falling off in the value of free goods
imported, by which a larger revenue has been received
by a reduced aggregate importation.
