II REPUBLIC

The mercantile markets abroad are reported to have
been tolerably brisk, and at the Leipzic fair trade was
active at the latest date.
The papers from the United States furnish a copy of
a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury upon the
subject of the measures taken to prevent frauds upon
the revenue since the passage of the Act of 1846,
which was expected to lead to serious results, inasmuch
as it effected a change from specific duties to duties
levied upon the foreign value of imported merchandise,
and some of the anticipated difficulties seem to have
arisen, and fraudulent invoices continued to multiply,
and the Customs authorities were compelled to issue
very stringent regulations, declaring, for example,
among other things, that forced sales by auction, ssc„
could not be taken as the true market of such goods.
The following is one case in point:—Mr. Secretary
Walker decided that the 16th section of the Act of 30th
August, 1842, prescribed that the date, in reference to
which the value of foreign merchandise is to be esti-.
mated, was the period cf exportation to the TQ-Lik'd
States, and very clearly exhibited the consequences of
any other construction to the "
_avenue and the importer.
ems Matter wag ;uvelved iu a suit commenced by
Thompson and Forman, of London, extensive manufac-
turers of railroad iron, against Philip Greely, jun., col-
' lector of the customs at Boston.
Thompson and Forman shipped a cargo of railroad
iron from Newport, in Wales, to Boston—the invoice
and bills of lading for the same bear date the 2ith of
February, 1849, and the price per invoice was 44. per
ton. The United States appraisers appraised the value
at 61. per ton. On an appeal to merchant appraisers, it
was appraised at 51. 15s. per ton. The duty was paid,
and a penalty for undervaluation imposed, and likewise
paid. It was admitted that on the 24th of February,
1849, the date of the invoice and bill of lading, 5/, les.

bury,nisu
!aaorfQ tit©

Acts of Congress expressly povide that the time to ba
selected for fixing the valea is the time when the article
imported from country where it was not grown or me-
nd 1842 provide that the value shall be fixed as th
e
time t e
time of exportation,"
"I am aware that, in practice at some custom-houses,
the time of the purchase and procurement is usually, as
a general rule, considered tge date of the bill of sale.
This would, ire, meat eases, not differ from the value at
ttst-, time of the purchase, as it varies often but a few
days or weeks, and the price but a few farthings. But
in cases where the difference in time and price is in
truth considerable, and the importer requests the true
time of purchase to he taken, the Custom-house, and
courts and juries, would not comply with their oaths tc
follow the law, unless all were governed by the value at
the time of purchase or procurement."
Upon a comparison of the opinions of Mr. Secre-
tary Walkes and those of Judge Woodbury upon this
point, it will be seen that, if the judge be correct, the
foreign manufacturer can make his selection of the date
at which this merchandise was procured, and thereby
be enabled to value his commodity to suit his interest,
whether at the time of shipment or time of want:future
—whereas a purchaser is confined to the date of pier-
chase. If the law allows any distinction betwest, the
duties which shall be payable by mauufacturere and pur-
chasers of iron, an immediate correction shosild be made.
Another example is that of three shipments of pi-
mento, which were made from the ieland of Jamaica at
about the same period—two of them to New York by
the same vessel, the invoices of which bear the same
date; the other to Baltimore, and all per account of the
shippers.
The New York invoices were both at 2i-d. per pound;
but, before making entry, one of the parties added id.
per pound, to make the price conform to the fair market
value. The other entered his without making any addition
to the value ; the appraisers added id. to the value ; the
parties demanded a re-appraisement by merchants,
which was held, and the appraisers' valuation was sus-
tained—the additional duty was accordingly assessed.
At Baltimore entry was made without any addition
to the value; the appraisers added id. to the value. A
re-appraisement by merchants was demanded, and the
appraisers' valuation was not sustained. Upon a report
of all the facts to the Secretary of the Treasury, he de-
cided that "as these merchant appraisers bad placed
before them at the time evidence furnished on appraise-
ment at New York of importations of pimento from
Jamaica, shipped about the same time, going to show
that the market value of the article was higher than
that stated in the invoice under review, the depart-
ment is compelled to infer that their estimate of value
refers solely to the price or coat paid by the owner or
shipper, and not the actual market value or wholesale
price at the time of shipment in the principal markets of
the country. This being the case, their appraisement
is not in conformity with law, and cannot be treated or
taken as valid and effectual, and must, consequently, be
disregarded."
The result at which the Secretary of the Treasury
seems to arrive is, that so long as the present ad
valorem system is continued, cases of the grossest fraud
will prevail, and a home valuation is recommended. This
is a matter in which the English shipper is so highly in-
terested, that we may hope there will be no extreme
legislation resorted to.
The following is an extract of a letter received by the
Committee of Spanish American Bondholders from their
agents at Bogota, Mersrs. Powles, Wilson, and Co.,
dated 13th September, and relating to the " Treasury
Bills" lately issued by the New Granadian Government
for the dividends in arrear:—
" The Bonds (i. e. the above Treasury Bills,') we
calculate will be worth from 75 to 80 per cent. in this
country. The sale will be, however, slow."
This extract is sufficient to dissipate in part the ap-
prehension expressed that the bonds would not realize
above 30 to 50 per cent.
The Stock Market opened very firmly, but has gone
back a little since, owing to a money sale. The tone of
the market, in the absence of adverse political intelli-
gence, is xceedingly firm, and there is a probability of
its being sustained by the force of money, if nothing
untoward occurs abroad. In the judgment of reflecting
men, however, a condition of perfect tranquillity is not
to be expected while the reactionists and progressives
are, so strongly opposed to each other. Consols have
been quoted 97 for Transfer, and 974 k for Account.
Exchequer-bills have been marked 68s. to 715., and India
Bonds 88s. premium. Bank Stock has been firm at 211,
and India Stock at 269. The New Three-and- a•Quarter

The Railway Market is good, and some of the shares
have attained a higher value than at any period this
year. Bladcwall are particularly in favour, upon the
assumption that the North-Western Company intend
offering an arrangement highly beneficial to the com-
pany, but nothing official on this subject has been
allowed to transpire. North-Western shares likewise
are better, having touched 1181. Midland have been
locking up, and there is a further rise in Great
Northern. York and North Midland, and York and
Berwick are more buoyant, and most of the other shares
are held for fuller prices. The foreign lines have been
steady. Mining and Joint• Stock Bank shares have been
in request.
