REPORT N THE CASE OF The SEIZED SUGAR.
BALTIMORE, December 1.-THE commits
sion appointed by the District Court, con-
sisting Of MessrS. L. ID. Fisher and +. &.
Chamberlain. special agent OF the Treasury
Department, and r. l.. Ross, the appraiser
OF cargoes OF sugar imported by Messrs. w.
Ii. Per0t and Tate Muller Il Co., by the
Mississippi and Manitou Company, and
seized by Special Agent Chamberlain for
forfeiture, had meeting this morning and
had the samples Of sugar in controversy be-
fore them. The appraisers were not unanl-
nous in opinion rs to the value Of the SUI
ears. Chamberlain declined to sign the re-
port agreed upon by Mcssrs. Fisher and
Ross.
The sugars were valued by majority of
the commission ut price near the last rate
of sale OF Demerara sugars sold in this
market. On Saturday $50 bags Of sugar,
regarded as being nearly of the same class,
was sold by Mr.. Perot to the Calvert Sugar
refinery at : GIG cents per pound, and
MesSrs Fisher and Ross agreed that u cents
would be fair valuation, and so decided
against the opinion OF Colonel Chamberlain,
who contendcd for a much higher figure,
claiming that, for some reason or other
Demerara, Vacuum, and Pan-Centrifugal
sugars had suddenly fallen in the market.
The appraiscncnt papers were filed in the
District Court. The importers will give
bond and withdraw the sugar for sale OF
shipment.
