INFERIOR SHIPMENTS OF CASSIA TO THE AMERI-

CAN MARKET.

Letter from Mesars. Lepack Co., Ltd., with enclosure.

Hongkong, 14th March, 1922. Mr. Blair,

Secretary,

As to the Resolution regarding! Cassis, we are acquainted with one of the Hongkong exporters who have shipped large quantities of inferior stuff to this part and in past years have had the same trouble with this shipper. It is our opinion that if some action could be brought to bear: on such shippers to compel them to ship only honest merchandise that the market in Cassis would not be in the state it is. This undoubtedly ex plains the reason why it is offered here at 31/34/cts. c. i. f for Selected Broken and cts, bigher for Extra Selected, and buyers "hesitating to purchase.
