WATERPROOF CREPE PAPER. 



The protest of A. Herrmann, of New 

 York, before the United States Board of 

 General Appraisers has been overruled 

 by Appraiser Fischer. The merchandise 

 in question was a heavy crepe paper, said 

 to be waterproof, such as is used by 

 florists in wrapping around flower pots. 

 It was classified by the collector as crepe 

 paper and assessed with duty at the rate 

 of 5 cents per pound and fifteen per cent 

 ad valorem under the specific provision 

 therefor in paragraph 397, tariff act of 

 1897. The importer claimed it to be 

 dutiable properly at twenty-five per cent 

 ad valorem under paragraph 402 of said 

 act, as paper not specifically provided 

 for. The appraiser decided that the 

 term crepe paper in the tariff act is not 

 confined to crepe tissue paper, but ap- 

 plies as well to similar and heavier 

 papers which have been subjected to the 

 creping process. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The market was much overcrowded 

 with stock last week. The consignments 

 were so heavy that prices suffered great- 

 ly. Business was not so slow with the 

 retailers, as they bought heavily each 

 morning, but the supply was so great 

 that they could not consume all that 

 came in. 



The glut was especially noticeable in 

 California violets. These came in by 

 hundreds of thousands and had to be 

 sold, so the wholesalers put the price 

 down as low as $1 per thousand; the 

 retailers doubled their money at 5 cents 

 per bunch of twenty-five. 



Carnations, too, were a glut and sold 

 as low as $7.50 to $10 per thousand, 

 quality being of the best, Enchantress 

 and white making up the glut. 



Roses have not as yet been overstocked 

 and the best of them are selling well. 

 Medium-stemmed American Beauties are 

 most plentiful. 



In bulb stock, everything in season is 

 more than enough for the demand. Tu- 

 lips and Dutch hyacinths are coming 

 in fine. Lilies are plentiful, both Har- 

 risii and callas. Sweet peas are fine, 

 with extra long stems, and all the light
