Capital Notes.
WASHINGTON, August 1Sth.-An evening
paper says that over 200 replies have been
received at the Treasury Department to the
circular letter calling for an expression of
opinion from manufacturers and importers
ON the subject of tariff revision. As rule
the contributions have contained more
complaint of the ad valorem system than
suggestions for its improvement.
The Treasury Department to-day pur-
chased DOG, eco ounces of silver for delivery
at the Philadelphia Mint, for coinage into
standard dollars. 1t is learned at the de-
partment that there is now quite a brisk
movement of silver dollars ali over the
country The issue averages about 100 GOO
a week more than during the same period
OF last year. and is slightly in excess of the
regular monthly coinage of 100000.
Acting Secretary Fairchild has decided that
additions TO the invoice value of merchan-
disc made by importers ON entry are con-
elusive against them, as under Section
1900 of the Revised Statutes the duty can
not be assessed on an amount less than
such entries are valued.
