B. TABLE showing the prices in Manchester, per running yard (according to the respective widths,) which are equivalent to the valuation of 30 cents per square yard, on the principle of the foregoing computation. If the price in Manchester of WHITE COTTON GOODS of any given width, is LESS than the corresponding equivalent of 30 cents per square yard, as shown in the preceding table, the value of the article being nevertheless considered by the customs as 30 cents per square yard, the rate of duty per ruuning yard may be computed for any given width in the following manner: One square yard of 36 inches being valued at.. and the duty on that valuation being 25 per cent, or. the proportionate duty for every inch of width, is add for commission, guarantee, fire insurance and interest, @ 10 per cent. which gives for every inch of actual width, on account of duty and charges thereon, a total of . 30 cents, 7cts. p. sq. yd. 208 cts. EXAMPLE. Cambrics, 40 inches wide, the cost price of which in Manchester, exclusive of charges, is 10d. per running yard, appear from table B. to cost LESS than the equivalent of 30 cents per square yard. They are consequently valued for duty at 30 cents per square yard, and their actual cost in America is to be ascertained by the following method: 10 pence per yard, of 40 inches wide, prime cost, gives, with the addition of all charges, except duty, at the exchange of 108 per cent, as shown in table A. .per running yard. 2392 cents. to which must be added: Duty and charges thereon for 40 inches, at the rate of of a cent per inch, as above..... giving the total cost, inclusive of duty and all charges, p. run. 82 66 920 yd. 33° cents. WHITE COTTON GOODS, which cost MORE than the corresponding equivalents of 30 cents per square yard, as shown in table B, pay a duty of 25 per cent on their actual value.
