We can only respond to your letter of the 17th instant with the following statis- 

 tics, which we have the honor to inclose herein. Upon the weight per yard, which

 the same with regard to the place of manufacture and the way in which the goods 

 are purchased. At Trieste no import duty is paid. 



For importation into the monarchy we refer you to the various customs tariffs- 

 general, with the modifications according to international treaties.
