errain Cotton Fabrie1, named Kwei-kwa-poo and Chay or Te-hwa-poo, [Dyed Cottons,] have been brought to this Port; and it occurred, that the Merchants argue and dispute the point when the said Goods are being valued for Duty Assessment. Now, gestion range in Value from Three to Five or Six Taels per Piece. I therefore propose to admit them at a fixed valuation, say per Piece, and collect on them an ad valorem Duty of Five per Cent. In this way we will be able to preserve uniformity and ind to avoid confusion and irregularity.
ly, I send for your inspection specimens of the Kwei-hwa-poo and Chay-hwa-poo; and I request that you will consider my pro- avour me with a Reply. Further, the Handkerchiefs and Chintz, sent to me by you, will be retained as Specimens in my Office. you will bring these matters to the cognizance of the Merchants, in order that they may act in accordance therewith, as will And expedient.
