The values given for the various grades
is estimated, and it is thought that the

than Is 81 cents pound, the prices
ranging between 10 1-2 cents and that
figure.

The seizure is valued az more
than $4,000 and Is the largest Of the
kind ever made in this port Besides
bolts Of silk. there were many cases
containing Chinese antiques and curios
which were taken from the palaces
and temples at the time of the occupa-
tion OF Chinese territory by foreign
troops. For some time past special
agents who watch the invoice OF all
vessels have noticed that at certain
Japanese and Chinese shops there are
articles for sale that were out OF the
ordinary run Of goods found at such
places and they began to watch
the ships which might bring such
goods. After the Indrawadi's mani
fest had been checked off and the car
go unloaded the treasury agents
visited the crews quarters. where
they found several men making at
tempts 10 sleep in hunks that booked

GERS took box after box OF the finest

tied up and ready for shipment, which,
when opened. revealed remarkable

es OF finely carved ivory. small idols
in gold and silver and pieces OF dainty
chinaware were tucked neatly away
throughout the box. The agents made
