A POPULAR HOHNER ACCORDEON
Is the Italian Model No. 464, Which Has Ad-
mirers the World Over.
One of the most popular models in the ex-
Importers were interested to know this week tensive accordeon line manufactured by Mr. lloli-
that, the United States Court of Customs Appeals ner, 114 East Sixteenth street, New York, at
in Washington had disposed of so many of the his vast factories in Trossingen, Germany, is the
issues pending before it that there would be only
one hearing by this tribunal in January and one in
February. Several decisions are expected shortly
as a result of the hearings held within the last few
weeks on a number of important issues.
In discussing the very large amount of re-
funds involved in the 5 per cent, rebate issue now
pending before the Supreme Court of the United
States, a prominent customs official estimated that
there were on the "suspended" files of the Board
of United States General Appraisers probably
60,000 or more customs cases awaiting the final de-
termination of this question. These suspended
cases not only involve the * • > per cent, question but
cover the classification in many cases of the class
of goods, the subject of the protests. This means
that when the issue has been finally determined
there will be published decisions covering the
classification of a wide variety of goods imported
under the provisions of the present tariff law.
Hearings have 'been held, but the decisions are held
up because of the •"> per cent, claim.

CAMDEN, N. j .
Among the cases decided by the Board of United
States General Appraisers recently was one re-
lating to musical instruments manufactured by
Pelisson, Guinot & Blanchon, Lyons.' The Custom
House authorities here refused to accept the en-
tered values put on the articles by the New York
importers, basing their refusal on the ground that
market prices advanced between the time of pur-
chase and the export of the goods. The articles,
with their respective entered values, were as fol-
lows : Contra basses, 58.2-5 francs each; euphoni-
ums, three valves, M8.2o francs; helicons, 7!).75
francs, and tenor slide trombones, l(i.2o francs
each. Judge Ho well decided that all of the articles
must stand an advance over the entered rates of
• ) per cent.
CURRENCY DEPRECIATION.
How Far It Is to Be Taken Into Account in
Fixing Duties Decided by the Treasury De-
partment— Instructions to the Collector.
How far the depreciation of the currency of
certain European countries shall be taken into
account in fixing duties on imports has been de-
clared by the Treasury Department. The question
arose with regard to a number of imports from
Austria, and the Attorney General gave it as his
opinion that, while the department could direct a
reliquidation of entries in cases where the value of
the currency is at least 10 per cent, less than the
proclaimed rate, it was not bound to do so. On
this Assistant Secretary Peters sent a letter to
Collector Malone saying reliquidation should not
be made if it were to result in the collection of
duty upon less than the market value of the goods.
