Olivee, Chief Judge:
These appeals for reappraisement have been submitted for decision upon the following stipulation of counsel for the parties hereto:
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the respective parties hereto, subject to the approval of the Court, as to merchandise covered by the reappraisement appeals enumerated in the annexed Schedule A:
1. That this stipulation is limited to so much of said merchandise as is described in the invoices as clams in 5-ounce cans or tins or clams in 8-ounce cans *501or tins; said articles being appraised on the basis of the American selling price in accordance with the Presidential proclamation published in T. D. 47031.
2. That such merchandise is the same in all material respects as the imported clams involved in United States v. Mutual Supply Co., et al. and Mutual Supply Co. et al. v. United States, Reap. Dec. 5950, 11 Cust. Ct. 461, and that the issues herein are the same in all material respects as the issues involved in said decision.
3. That upon the dates of exportation to the United States of the merchandise covered by these appeals, like or similar merchandise manufactured or produced in the United States was being freely offered for sale and sold to all purchasers in the principal market of the United States in the ordinary course of trade and in the usual wholesale quantities, including all containers and coverings and all costs, charges, and expenses incident to placing the merchandise in condition packed ready for delivery, at the following^prices per dozen cans or tins, less a cash discount of íyí per centum:

Per

6-ounce size dozen

June 1, 1935, to Nov. 30, 1936 $.90

8-ounce size

June 1, 1935, to Nov. 30, 1936 $1.
Less 1J4 per centum cash discount
4.That the record in said Reap. Dec. 5950 may be incorporated herein and that upon this stipulation these appeals may be deemed submitted, they being abandoned as to all merchandise except that referred to above.
On the agreed facts, I find the American selling price, as that value is defined in section 402 (g) of the Tariff Act of 1930, to be the proper basis for the determination of the value of the merchandise described on the invoices as clams in 5-ounce cans or tins or clams in 8-ounce cans or tins, and that such values, for merchandise exported during the specified periods, are as follows:

Per

6-ounce size dozen

June 1, 1935, to November 30, 1936_ $0. 90

8-ounce size

June 1, 1935, to November 30, 1936_ $1. 50
Less 1 Yi per centum cash discount
The appeals having been abandoned insofar as they relate to all other merchandise, to that extent the appeals are hereby dismissed.
Judgment will be rendered accordingly.
