DUTY ON CELERY SEED. 



It is interesting to note that the first 

 rumpus over the application of the new 

 specific rates of duty on seeds has arisen 

 outside the seed trade — it is between the 

 customs department and the spice trade. 



Celery seed has advanced at least fifty 

 per cent in price during the last few days 

 as a result of a decision of the Board of 

 General Appraisers to levy a duty of 10 

 cents a pound on the imported article. 

 September 20 it sold for 8 cents a pound, 

 whereas by the end of the week the mar- 

 ket was quoted around 12 cents. The 

 price will be even higher in the opinion 

 of importers. 



The decision of the appraisers to make 

 celery seed dutiable evidently surprised 

 the trade, for it is the general opinion 

 that the article should be free. It was 

 free under the Dingley law, and most im- 

 porters believe that the new tariflf also 

 meant to make it free. One large import- 

 ing firm that has been assessed the 10 

 cents a pound duty states that it will 

 contest the case to the end, and that it 

 expects to win, but not within a year and 

 a half at least. 



There is no mention of celery seed in 

 the new tariff. The appraisers, therefore, 

 take the ground that it is dutiable at 10 

 cents a pound under the clause in para- 

 graph 266 reading, "Seeds of all kinds 

 not specially provided for in this section, 

 10 cents per pound." 



Importers, on the other hand, believe 

 it comes under paragraph 559 of the free 

 list, which reads, in part: 



Drugs, such as barks, beans, berries, bal- 

 sams, buds, bulbs, bulbous roots, excrescenees, 

 fruits, flowers, dried fibers, dried insects, 

 grains, gums. gum resin, herbs, leaves, 

 Uehenp, mosses, nuts, nutgalls, roots, stems, 

 spices, vegetables, seeds (aromatic, not gar-
