* Per dozen. 



The duties are those given in the latest tariff revision, that of April 15, 1889. 



Tulles, muslins, and cotton embroideries are imported from England and Switzerland, but it is im- 

 possible to give accurate statistics in regard to those articles, their values, and hence the duties paid, 

 beiug so variable.
