New York. Sept. 3.-Notice from the
treasury department has been received by
the collector OF customs that hereafter
picked sheep skins shall be classified as
partially manufactured articles calling
for the duty of'2o per cent. This ruling
upsets a decision OF the board OF United
States general appraisers rendered in

haustive hearings in the history OF the
board.
Picked sheep skins have been coming
I'm for years free OF duty as raw skins
and in 1899 an attempt was made to col
lect duty upon them. Between thirty and
forty witnesses however testified that the
picking was not process OF manufact-
ure but was merely done to preserve tho
skins during the voyage and that the
pickle had TO be all washed out before
they were tanned.
Firms In the leather trade which are
deeply Interested in the matter declare
they will make a test Of the ruling.
