Y., firm claiming free duty for concentrated con-centrated copper ore. The ore had been 6F3e9sed at 20 per cent, as a non-enumerated non-enumerated manufactured article. It Is held that the contraction of ore while removlr.g some of the Impurities, still leaves it copper ore, which la provided for la ths free list. ... , As the Importation of copper concentrates concen-trates into this country Is very limited and most of the copper Imported is re- duced to base bullion before shipping, it is not at all likely that the foregoing decision will have any effect whatever '- upon the copper market or the settling price of the red metal. |
