CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED. MEMO.-My business in this line has increased yearly. IRWIN'S HAND-BOOK TO THE CANADA TARIFF (REVISED) EXCHANGE TABLES FOR FRANC, MARK, FLORIN OF ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED. LIBRAR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY C. W. IRWIN, CUSTOMS BROKER 40 YONGE STREET TORONTO, 1900. Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in the year This present issue completes the Seventeenth Year of the publication of the HAND-BOOK TO THE CANADIAN TARIFF. During that period constant editions have been published, as the HAND-BOOK is intended to be, and always will be, maintained up to the latest date. Its correctness has been proven by its popularity, and the same acuteness of revision will be continued, so that Merchants who figure closely, and are seeking reliable information as to the Duties in force, may with confidence refer to its pages. This edition contains the changes made during the Session of Parliament just closed, as well as the latest decisions of the Department. It is submitted to the trade with the pardonable belief, gained from past experience, that it amply fills an acknowledged want. Houses in the United States selling goods in Canada, "Duty and Freight paid," will find it much to their advantage to forward their consignments to me for entry and distribution, as a practised hand may sometimes be able to better discriminate in the details of classification, and so facilitate their transactions. Respectfully, C. W. IRWIN. 0- Tle UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORN HINTS FOR IMPORTERS.
