protest from a Boston importer and
raising the question as to whether wool

arily packed separately and bought and
sold at different prices and which. if

four cents.
The appraisers held that such pack
ing was such Il change in condition for
the purpose of evading the duty as to
subject the entire contents of the bale

on the wool market here SO far as it
pertains to carpet woods. The price of
the white or higher grade carpet woods
will undoubtedly go up at once. The
custom has been for the importers to
receive their invoices of carpet woods
with the various grades mixed paying
the duty of four cents per pound.
Lately, however, the value of the white
wool has increased so that it is valued
above Il cents per pound. thereby be-
coming subject to q duty of seven in
stead of four cents. Hereafter it must
be paid for accordingly instead of being
imported mixed with other grades when
teh total value of all would be less than
l. cents and subject, therefore, only
to the four cent duty.
