Wool scoured not washed under tariff ruling 1886 decision upheld

The Assistant Secretary endorses Wood & Payson's appeal re Salermo wool import. Wool classified as scoured remains at six cents per pound, not five, aligning with 1867 and 1883 acts. Treasury claims that washed and scoured refer to market preparation methods and uphold the 6c rate. Liquidity steps urged, with potential refunds of excess duties.
