VAS IT ON CONSIGNMENT? 



A phones to B for some spring bulbs, 

 not stating the quantity, to sell in his 

 stce. B ships the bulbs in April. After 

 sixty days B sends a statement marked 

 "Please remit." In reply A sends one- 

 tenth the amount and returns the unsold 

 portion of the bulbs July 1. Can B hold 

 A for the balance of the shipment? 



T. 



There is little data on which to base 

 an opinion. One wishing to make such 

 an arrangement as is suggested by this 

 inquiry would be expected, and required, 

 to make his wishes unmistakably clear. 

 There is nothing in the inquiry to indi- 

 cate that there was telephone conversa- 

 tion between A and B on the point of 

 supplying merchandise to sell on consign- 

 ment, nor is it stated that A had previ- 

 ously had merchandise from B on con- 

 gignment or to dispose of on commission, 

 nor is it stated that it is the custom of 

 B to so send out merchandise with the 

 privilege of returning the unsold portion. 

 If all the facts have been stated it would 

 appear that A trusted to the discretion 

 of B in the matter of the quantity to be 

 sent, accepted the merchandise without 

 protest and could only return a part of 

 it by the. seller's grace after payment 

 became due. 



SPECmC DUTIES WANTED. 



The seed trade is not alone in wishing 

 the new tariff law to provide for specific 

 duties rather than ad valorem duties. 

 From many lines of business the demand 

 for the change is heard and tariff ex- 

 perts regard the present ad valorem 

 duties as the source of much of the cur- 

 rent criticism of the tariff, and hold that 

 a large saving in the cost of adminis- 

 tration would be made if the specific 

 system could become more general. 



Our present rates of duty, while fol- 

 lowing both the specific and ad valorem 

 system, are predominantly of the latter 

 variety. Most of the work of the Board 

 of Gensral Appraisers has to do either
