GOODS COMING IN
ON Lower DUTY
Forty Per Cent Increase at Local
Custom-House Under .
New Tariff.
CLERKS WAITING FOR INDEX
Imports Stored in Bonded Ware
houses Brought Forth by
Manufacturers.
CLERKS WAITING FOR INDEX

a 40 per cent increase in entries
marked the first day under the new
tariff bill in tho Richmond custom
house. On tho first mail yesterday
morning Special Deputy Collector
Smith received from Secretary Nc
Ad0o copy of the tariff act as finally
enacted, and duty paid yesterday was
computed on the basis Of tho provis-
ions OF the Underwood Simmons SEIZED
ule. The local customs officers are
STRIVING to assist the importers to
master the intricacics OF the new law
but are laboring under handicap In
the absence OF indexed tariff
schedule
Secretary McAdoo has announced
that the new tariff is being index ed
with the utmost speed. and that no
hopes TO have copies of the index in
the hands of collectors before the end
of this week. In the meanwhile, when
Cuty is to be computed on an entry
the customs officials must search
through the entire law until they run
across the article in question While
this method is laborious. the customs
men undertake 1t cheerfully.
Puzzled by Bill.
Even the most willing mind cannot
unravel the complexities without as
sistance. The local customs officials
have already struck snag in endeav-
oring to fix the duty OH burlap Bur-
lap is one OF the chief articles of i'm
port at this 100000 port. One con-
struction of tho new law admits bur
lap duty free, while another imposes
duty Of 10 per cent al vniorem. Tie
duty OH burlap will be specifically
stated in the tariff index now being
prepared under Secretary McAdoo's or
der. Many entries Of burlap were
made yesterday through this port, and
the customs officials determined to ad
nit it duty free making the provision,
however. that final clearance OF the
entries will not be made until a ruling
has been given.
Most of the entries made yesterday
We're in the shape Of Withdrawals from
warehouses. For the last few weeks
anticipating lower tariff on burlap and
other items. local importers have been
storing foreign shipments In bonded
warehouses on their arrival and i'm e.
mediately withdrew them when the
lower duty became effective. The
Payne Aldrich law provided duty on
burlap of 10 per cent ad valorein and
SIG per cent specific.
Collections Smaller.
While the volume or imports made
yesterday were vastly in excess OF
those made recently, the amount Il
duty collected Will Hardly be more than
heretofore. for the obvious reason that
there has been a revision downward
in me tariff
The collections at the port of Rich
mond will not be SO keenly affected by
the lower tariff rs at other ports, for
the reason that many of the chief ar
ticles Of import here were not touched
III the tariff pruning. Tobacco. the
largest article of import here, re-
manned unchanged, as did wines and
spirits. If burlap is 10 be admitted
free perceptible cut may be ex-
pected in the local duty collections.
