IL VIII be remembered. by the investiga-

examinations and classifications. Boston
merchants had complained that they

that they were paving H5O, 900 revenue

Appraiser Bum is said to have a plan

Another exciting, phase of the sugar
business is the discovery of loop
Under section 1872 1-2 of the new law
there is a duty of 40 per cent. ad valorem
on raw sugar and all refined sugars

sugars after being refined, when, tine
tured, cclored or in any way adulter-
ated shall be subject to a duty OF rs

for adulteration of sugars under section
lS3 are very brilliant. Sugar men say
sugars can be made in foreign countries
at a trifling cost, and they can be let in
under the IS per cent. rates. and foreign
competitors will not be slow to take
