TREASURY DxPAarMaxT,

OFFICE or INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON, December Is, 1880.
J. D. Harley, ESq., Collector First District,
Chicago, H.:
STR am in receipt of your letter OF the
9th instant, enclosing communication 2d-
dressed to you byJ. Friedman, leaf dealer
10 your district. Mr.. Friedman solictts
decision from this Office upon the question
whether marked or actual weights of leaf
tobacco are to be entered by leaf dealers IN
their leaf books, aud II actual weights sre
to be entered, he wishes TO be informed how
this term is to be applied to tobacco that has
been resweated by the leaf dealer, and sold
in such state to cigar manufacturers.
I reply that the law requires (see section
1850 U. 8. Revised Statutes) that every
dealer in leaf tobacco shall make daily en-
try In two books, kept for that purpose,
Of the number of hogsheads, cases and
pounds Of leaf tobacco purchased or re-
ceiyed by him on consignment, transfer or
otherwise, and of the number OF hogs
heads, cases or pounds sold by him, etc.
The weight of the tobacco in pounds at
the time OF purchase, and at the time of
sale, is to be entered in the leaf Dealers
book. The terms "marked weight" sac
tuai weight" and ''resweated tobacco" are
not recognized in the law. Nor does the
law establish any standard for measuring
tie proportion OF moisture in leaf tobacco;
nor does 1t recognize changes in It's CON
dition produced by evaporation or absorp-
ton OF moisture. The process of resWeat-
ing is not q process of manufacture. Any
addition to the weight of the leaf by the
resweating process becomes part and parcel
OF the leaf. As the leaf dealer is required
by law to enter daily In his books the num-
Der OF pounds purchased, so he Is required
TO enter daily the number Of pounds sold,
together with the name aud residence, In
each instance, Of the purchaser.
He cannot, in any case, be allowed to sell
one hundred pounds OF resweated tobacco
and enter 1t in his book, aud bill it to the
manufacturer as eighty or eighty-fiye
pounds, or az any other number OF pounds
less than one hundred.
ANY discrepancy appearing III q leaf deal
er's books between the aggregate amount OF
his purchases and sales must be balanced
BY an entry of the increase or loss IN weight,
as the case may be. All tobacco reported
by cigar manufacturers Is required BY the
regulations to be the actual weight of the
leaf, and Is assumed to be tobacco in it's
normal condition, unless the tobacco is
resweated, and evidence of that fact is fur
nisheh to the Collector at the time 1t Is re-
ported.
Any other mode OF making entries ly leaf
dealers and manufacturers than that OF the
actual weight of the leaf tobacco at the time
OF purchase and at the time OF sale. would
leave this officer in uncertainty on what ba.
sis to compute the production from the
quantity Of leaf tobacco reported as uged
by the manufacturer.
IL this rule Is strictly complied with, cigar
manufacturers will have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning from this Office all the allowance
they are entitled to receive when they pur-
chase and use resweated tobacco. Respect
fully, GREEN B. RAUM, Commissioned
