FOREIGN EXHIBITS.
Customs Arrangements for Watching
the Goods.


The warehouse set apart by Appraiser
Tucker, in which ali goods consig' ed to
Midwinter Fair exhibitors and liza BILE for
duty are stored, is rapidly filling up Under
the special rule of Congress, made for the
Worlds Fair and which will apply to ex-
hibits from foreign countries at the Mid
winter Fair, only such goods as are sold
will pay duty. All the foreign exhibits
come here in bond and the firms which
make exhibits in the sense that nothing
shown can be purchased will be allowed to
take their goods out OF the country as they
brought them in, duty free.
The exhibits from which goods are to be
sold, If purchasers be found, win be
watched by a corps OF officers from the
Appraisers Office. Before such exhibits
go to the fair their owners mEst furnish b
the Appraiser with list of every article
contained in the exhibit, and unless they
have been appraised before being brought
to San Francisco Mr.. fuckers deputies
will appraise them. After the fair the ex-
hibits will be checked up and any articles
sold on which the duty has not been paid
will be charged for as by schedule and the
articles remaining will be allowed to be
taken out OF the country duty free.
In short, all the goods Wnile OIL exhibit
tion will remain in bond and only such
articles as are taken out of bond aud sold
will pay duty.
The Appraisers office here finds that the
articles comprising the majority Of the
large exhibits from which sales are to be
made have already been appraised in Chi
cagO. The Eastern appraisement will be
accepted here and in cases where articles
appraised 10 Chicago and sold there are
duplicated by sending home for a new
supply the Chicago appraisement will pre-
vail so long as the duplicates answer the
description of the articles sold.
The object in having guards from the
Appraisers store present at the Midwin-
ter Fair Is to prevent the removal of any
article, whelh her sold or otherwise, until
the duty on il shall be paid. In cases
where exhibitors give bonds for the duty
the bond will cover the full amount Of
duty due on the entire exhibit. In such
cases the customs officers Will have DO
bother, as at the close of the fair the ex-
hibit will be again carefully itemiZed and
the articles missing when the list is COM
pared with the invoice furnished upon the
arrival of the exhibit will be charged for.
There is every reason to believe that the
warehouse set apart for the Mdwiuter
Fair exhibits in bond will be taxed to it,
