Tho estimates ob to what pcrcontago ndvnlorem tho now general and con ventional rates will constltuto can only be approximately correct at best. If prices of commodities should not change greatly as compared with thoRo prevailing- in 1503, tho ebtimntcs of what tho new ndvalorom rates will amount t6 will bo fairly accurate, otherwlso they will not.

Thero Is no doubt that many of them are of great value, but intelligent discrimination and more effective distribution Bhould result from tho inqury.
