Upon investigation it is found that the weight of cotton-thread varies from one to one and a half per et., according to the condition of the atmosphere, and that no uniform invoice weight can be given of such thread shipped from Europe to this country.

To ascertain the true weight on which duties should be levied in case of importation from Europe of such thread, or of cotton yarn, you will, when an importation is found to exceed in weight the amount noted in the invoice, allow not exceeding one per ct. for increase in weight caused by absorption of moisture on the voyage, provided there is no reason to suspect fraud or error in the invoice, (S. S., 2590.)

Webster and Worcester define fruit to be the "products of certain plants covering and including their seeds," among which Webster enumerates "berries, figs, melons, and others." According to this definition are not tomatoes entitled to free entry, as "fruits green, ripe, or dried," under 704? If melons are fruit, why

are not tomatoes
