DIFFERING COURSES.

When the lots of bird seed referred
to arrived at San Francisco the import
ers pursued different courses s. L.
Jones & Co. after sending a cablegram
to Liverpool to ascertain the regular
market price of bird seed on the sailing
day of the vessel that brought II cir
imported goods voluntarily raised the
valuation from the rates at which they
bought it to the quoted price on the day
of the sailing of the vessel This in
Volved difference in the duty of some
thing like $1400. Haas Brothers and
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. raised the valu-
atoms on their goods similarly. Maldo-
nado & Co. and Boden, when the valu-
alton on their bird seed was raised by
Appraiser John T. Dare, concluded to
fight the matter out before the Board
of General Appraisers at New York
The value of bird seed in the Liverpool
market had been rising steadily for
some time before any of the seed in
question was dispatched for this port,
and the differences between the pur-
chase prices and the real market values
on the days of expectation were con-
siderable in all the cases in question.
Maldonado & Co. and Boden appealed
from the increase in valuation by the
Appraiser to the Board of General APP
praisers. On the first hearing of the
facts one member of the Board of Gen.
eral Appraisers decided in favor of
Maldonado & Co. and Boden. The case
was then brought up on review before
the Board of General Appraisers by
reason of action at this end of the line,
and the result was that three of the
General Appraisers sustained the opin-
ion and decision of the one General APP
praiser who first considered the matter,
and so it was settled that Maldonado &
Co. and Boden should have their bird
seed at a lower rate of valuation for
the assessment of customs duties than
the other three business houses that
have been named herewith.
CREATES MUCH INTEREST.
There is much interest in the issue of
the case among commercial houses. BY
the lower rates of valuation two houses
are able to make lower price for bird
seed than their competitors. There is
some irritation, but as Haas Brothers,
Balfour Guthrie & Co. and S. L. Jones
& Co. voluntarily raised their own VAL
uations there has been no appeal on
their part Possibly some Of these three
houses may now present the facts from
their point of view to the Board of Gen
eral Appraisers and ask that they be

ODD STORY DEVELOPS
General Appraisers at New
York Make Rulings That
Touch on Market Prices

Through two rulings of the Board Of
General Appraisers at New York three
mercantile houses in this city consider
themselves out and injured in large
amounts as compared with business
competitors who succeeded in getting
comparatively low rates of duty on i'm
ported bird seed. The difference was
brought about by different methods of
valuation. The story connected with the
transactions is of more than ordinary
interest as it is told by merchants.
S. L. Jones & Co., Maldonado & Co.,
Haas Brothers. Balfour, Guthrie & Co.
and j. H. Boden, the last named being
a broker imported bird seed in large
quantities on vessels that arrived at
this port in March and April last S. L.
Jones & Co. had two lots of seed. The
dates of expectation from Liverpool,
which is the bird seed market of the
world, ranged from September II, 1903
to December 1, 1903. The vessels ar
rived at this port in March and April,
1904
There is customs regulation, one of
many prepared by the Secretary of the
Treasury Department, that provides in
Interpretation of the laws governing the
collection of customs duties of the
United States that 1T is the duty of the
Appraiser, or officer acting as such, to
make careful examination of any mer-
chandise which the Collector designates
for that purpose and to appraise the
actual market value or wholesale price
thereof at the time of expectation in
the principal markets and in the cur
rency of the country whence the same
was imported" Another provision made
by the Secretary of the Treasury is
that the time of expectation must be
deemed the date at which merchandise
actually leaves the foreign port"

EDUCATE THE PEOPLE.


People can easily be educated to eat
raisins," said Commissioner Wyer. and
to use them in a great many dishes
where they are not used now The con-
sumption per capita of raisins can be
greatly raised by proper distribution of
samples"
George E. Hyde and Lloyd Childs,
who represent Santa Clara County at
the fair, are working hard to promote
the consumption of Drunes and gain
knowledge concerning the Eastern sales
Of this fruit. The crowds that gather
TO sample the cooked prunes given
away at the Santa Clara booth grow
greater every day. Hyde and Childs
make the statement, which at first
seems funny, that the men who sell
prunes in the East-the retail grocers-
are the men who obstruct their sale
They charge too much for them, and
instead of becoming a reasonable priced,
popular article of diet the prune
is looked upon by the masses of East
ern people as a luxury. The middle
man in this case is not to blame The
retailers want too much profit, and
they demand from 1215 to Is cents a
pound for prunes they get for less than
half those prices. If the retail prices
ran nearer the wholesale figures many
more prunes would be eaten, to the ad-
vantage of the grower.
Henry I-achman. who gained the title
OF THE Feacemaker'' during his serv-
ice or the international wine jury
here, has departed for the East and
will soon be back in California. Lach-
man has done good work here for his
State. The prestige he gained through
his ability to pour oil on breakers and
smooth out numerous disputes that
arose among the jurors gave him an
influence that benefited his State
greatly He also learned many things
here that will be an aid to producers
of and dealers in wine when impaired

FOUR GRAND PRIZES.
From the wine jury California will
get four grand prizes, seventeen gold
medals and a score OF silver and
bronze medals-a pretty good show
ing.
Certain shortcomings in the way of
labelling and preparing wine for ship
ment have been brought prominently
to the front at this fair, and the result
of this will also be a benefit to the in
dustry in California
DR.. Metz, head of the chemistry de-
partment of the Tulane University of
New Orleans, called on Superintendent
lIaber of the California wine exhibit
this week and expressed his approval
of the vintages of that State by
placing a large order for his private
callar. He praised the wines highly.
DR.. Metz was in California for seven
teen weeks in the interests of his uni
versity and Louisiana, and was greatly
pleased with the Golden State.
The University of California has

are said to have been given the high
