SUPPLEMENTAL STIPULATION OF SUBMISSION
In addition to the facts contained in a stipulation entitled nos. 130776A/1715, etc., of Osaki Shoten, Ltd., dated at San Francisco, June 18, 1942, it is hereby further stipulated and agreed, by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the court:
(1) That upon the dates of exportation of the rubber boots listed in annexed schedule, such or similar merchandise manufactured or produced in the United States was being freely offered for sale, packed ready for delivery to all purchasers, in the principal market of the United States, in the ordinary course of trade and in the usual wholesale quantities, in such market and at the prices shown in attached schedule, under the column entitled “American selling price.”
