Customs Collector, Stratton reported
yesterday that the branch appraisers
store occupying two floors of the Has
lett warehouse on Townsend street,
near Second. was already in service
and was being filled with goods and
customs people rushing things along.
Preparations are being made to re-
ceive an extraordinarily large consign-
ment of Japanese curios. porcelain,
embroideries, vases, carvi,sys and other
articles of virIu due here in time for
the Christmas holidays. There are no
less than 1000 cases in the lot, and, be-
ing filled with mixed goods, each case
must be opened and examined for ap-
praisement. 1t appears that merchants
in japan are sorely in need of gold.

disposing of their goods as speedily as
possible for spot gold with a discount
of 90 per cent below regular prices.
