that queen bees are entitled to entry
free of duty under the tariff providing
foranimals especially imported for breed
ing purposes, notwithstanding the re
quirement that the provision for a cer

case. This is in harmony with the prac
tice under tho old tariff, but is in con
flict with tho practice under the present
tariff" of assessing duty on queen bees nt
n rate of 1!0 per cent, ad valorem, under
the provision for animals not otherwise
provided for. Tho present, ruling is based
on representations that these i.ees aro

sonal relations with President Harrison

ally accepted as authoritative. The send
ing of Governor Pierce to China will, it
is thought, bo followed by tho appoint

the court to which ho will bo accredited
is a far more desirable ono from an

PORTLAND MARKET.
It li Well Stocked With Vegetable J
Staple Grocrlea Are Active.
Strawberries aro plentiful. All fruits
are in good supply aud fair demand. The j
market is well stocked with vegetables '
of all kinds, but the demand is onlv fair.
' Potatoes are weak. Eggs are niore'plen
i tiful. Quotations on butter are strong.
1 Good quality is eelling readily at good
I prices. Chickens, both old and vouue.
are in good demand; also young geese,
but there is little call for turkeys. There
is practically nothing doing in the wool
market. Trade in staple groceries is
active, and a decline in sugar 13 daily
I looked for. The coffee market is weak.
