RECENT CUSTOMS RULING. 



.•\ decision has been rendered by the Board of Reappraisers 

 affecting the importation of rubber balls. The shipment involved 

 in the ruling was forwarded to New York by the London agents^ 

 of an Austrian manufacturing concern. Upon arrival at this 

 port the appraiser advanced the invoice values about 70 per cent, 

 ad valorem and duty on the higher basis was demanded, together 

 with accruing penalties. .'Vt the hearing it was brought out that 

 orders were given by the New York importers to the London 

 agents for shipment of the Austrian balls through England 

 because of the fact that export prices for such goods are lower 

 in England than in .Austria, owing to British competition. The 

 Board of .Appraisers decided that the balls were properly in- 

 voiced on the basis of the prevailing market prices in England, 

 thus reversing the decision of the single appraiser. 



The report of the .American Telephone & Telegraph Co., lately 

 issued, gives the quantity of wire in use in the operation of its

 lows: Underground wire, 8,817.815 miles: submarine wire,
