Collector of Customs, San Francisco,
sir-The department is authorltatively
Informed thaIt undtr the laws OF Spain a
bounty IS directly paid on the export of
sugar from that country, when the eX-
ported sugar is the product of the REIN
ing CT sugars proceeding from IT'S colonial
provinces and possessions; that the boun-
~ is equivalent 10 the tax which may
have been paid for the raw materials,
plus 70 per cent, and that in cases where
no bCuntfeS are received by the exporters
official certificates to that extent may be
obtained.
In view of this information the DEPART
nent is of opinion that sugars, the pro-
duct of Spain and her colonies, are sub
Ject, on importation into the United
States, to the additional duty of one
tenth of a cent per pound. under the
provisions of paragraph 1922 of the act of
August "a, 1884.

assent idlait If the extra tenth of a cent a
pound IS added they Will not bring in any
more stuff. The custom house authorities
are of the opinion that sugar shipped
from a Spanish town TO, Hong-Kong and
after being refined shipped TO San Fran
cisco is subject to the extra duty. The
brokers think differently so the matter
