STACKABLE WINS
IN BEAN CAKE CASE

The appeal of Wing Sing Wo and
others against the decision of the
Treasury Department on the question
as to whether bean stick, bean cake,
and potato cake, came under the head
of prepared vegetables has been set
tied by the Board of Appraisers at
New York. The settlement of the
case changes the duty on these arti-
cIes from 40 per cent to 20 per cent
ad vaIorem. Collector Stackable held
than bean stick was not a prepared
vegetable, and although the Treasury
Department thought otherwise, the
case was taken before the Board Of
Appraisers and evidently they looked
at it the same light as did Collector
Stackable for the duty has been
changed.
Bean stick is an article used in soups
and is prepared by making a paste of
a certain kind of bean. and after put
ting it through various processes, it is
allowed to harden. when it becomes
very brittle According to the Treas
ury decision in this matter bread might
be called wheat, and the Collector here
considered that the bean stick and
other articles mentioned could not be
