CUSTOM HOUSE NOTES.
Importers Being Taught the Difference
Between Leaf and Wrapper Tobacco
AppOintmcnts.

Importers do not find the district of Ver-
mont a very favorable channel through
which to practice fraud on the revenue A
recent ruling of the board of general ap-
praisers sustains the collectors decision as
to the proper classification of L entries of
leaf tobacco on which increased duty was
assessed to the amount of S33, ,239. The
game of the importers of leaf tobacco is to
make out their invoice and entry simply as
leaf tobacco, hoping that it may be passed
as ordinary tobacco for filters at duty of
80 cents per pound. instead of wrapper to-
bacco which is dutiable at 81 per pound.
The officers who make the examinations are
upto this little scheme, and the result has been
that during the past year and half their
classification has been sustained by the
board of general appraisers , times out of p
and to the extent of SS51l in the other six
cases against which protests have been
made. The total entered duty on the ,,
importations was $11, ,S24 25. The duty
found on inspection of the tobacco, and
sustained by the appraisers was S63 191. -,

The Yield Of wheat Is Estimated to n
2s,32O,OO0 bushels.

TorEKA. Kar, July G.--Thc Kansas
state board of agricuiture's secretary,
II. ID. Coburn, to-day issued the July
crop report The yield of wheat is
estimated TO be 2s, 10000 bushels
Tho acreage planted last fall, accord
ing TO the assessors returns, was
4,126, 7O7 acres. The acreage actually
harvested was 2,6G6,G7l acres The
report says the rains of the past
month have brought the wheat out
wonderfully, making, in many fields,
five TO ten bushels per acre, where a
month ago it was not thought possi-
bic 10 raise anything.
The crop is all i'm shock or stack eX-
cept in the northern and nor thwestcrn
counties, and the determination TO
stack before thrcshing is more gem
eral than in any preceding season. As
rule the harvest has been from a
week to ten days earlier than usual
except in some Of the southwestern
counties. where 1ither sowing or
termination were very backward. As
/ TO the quality, only single reporter
/ from each of five of the lOj counties
uses the word "poor" TO describe it,
! while all the others quote it as
medium" plump" good" "very
J good, ""cXtra good, and from seventy
three counties the description is
good" or very good"
Very little spring wheat was har-
vested and the oats yield will not ex-
/ coed half a crop. The yield of rye is
/ about the same as of winter wheat;
/ the quality is good.
Without exception, reports indicate
/ that Kansas presents at this time fan
