ULINGISQUEST|ONED
Collectors Dictum as to Mat
ter of Duty on Steel Bill
lets from Germany.
ISSUE IS AS TO WHOLESALE PRICE
That Adopted Making a Lot of Differ
ence to the Men Who Are
Importing.

New York, Oct. 17.-COnsumers or
steel billets outside the United States
Steel Corporation are watching with
anxiety the outcome of the hearing be-
fore the board of general appraisers
in this city of the complaints against
the action of the United States collec-
tor at Philadelphia in marking up the
appraisement of German steel import
ed into this country. They are highly
incensed over the action of the Phil
adelphia collector and threaten to
make it a question in the present con-
gressional campaign should it be al
lowed to stand.
Described by q Steel Man.
The situation is thus described by
well known steel man who is perfect
Iy posted on the facts: The, duty on
steel billets is O.3 cents a pound if the
billets are valued at the time of ship
ment at 1 cent n pound or less, the
value to be ascertained by the ruling
quotations on wholesale quantities in
the open market of the country from
which the steel is exported. This duty
is equal to $6.72 Il long ton The duty
on billets valued at more than l cent
a pound up TO Ia cents is o. cents per
pound, or $3.50 a ton.
How the Collector Ruled.
"The Philadelphia collector ruled on
n recent Importation of steel billets
from Germany that the German mar
ket prices for purposes of appraise-
ment shall be determined by that fig
~ soil
steel for home consumption. Now it is
universally known that Germany is
large producer of billets for export and
IT,. one can buy billets from any of
its large works for consumption in
England, Italy. Belgium or the United
States at n much less price than the
small quantities consumed by the
forges and rolling mills in Germany
can be obtained for.
Germany's Wholesale Market.
REALLY he only wholesale market
for billets in Germany is the export
market. The price of billets in the
German export market today is about
10 stfffings, whereas the domestic
market, in which only small lots change
hands, is quoted at about 81 shiIlings.
1t is the latter figure which the Phila-
delphia collector now decides to use as
a basis for appraisement, nOtwith-
standing the export price has been the
basis used heretofore since the pres
ent tariff law has been in effect. The
new price of % shillings being in eX-
cess of 1 cent per pound, the ruling is
in effect an increase from S6.T2 to
$500, or 1924 per ton, i'm the duty.

these there are several varieties. Ev-

came favorable for the release of its
feathery burden, says writer in

the air with flakes that were driven
along almost horizontally by a strong
gale, although the tops of our old
hemlocks and spruce rose into the
clear air and obstructed sunlight
above the highest level of the snow.

the snow so thick in the air about us
