IMPORT DUTIES GAIN FOR LAST THIRD OF YEAR Indiana Customs Collector Reports 80 Per Cent Increase. Records complied by Wray E Fleming, collector of customs for the Indiana district, show a remarkable increa.se for the last four months of 1933 over the same months of the previous year. Valuation of $369,893 was placed on imported merchandise received In Indiana during the last third cf the year. The increase shown in these flgnres was more than 80 per cent over the \alue of goods received the last four months of 1932, when the appraised value of goods received was $193,993. During the last four months of 1933, duty amounting to $48,561.82 was collected, an increase of 35 per cent over the amount collected in the same months of 1932. The figures show that the amount of duty collected in December, 1933, fell short several hundred dollars of the amount received in December, 1932. The value of the merchandise imported into Indiana during last month, however, was more than double the value imported in December, 1932. The decrease in collections was due to certain of the merchandise received having been free of duty. Mr. Fleming believes that the great* increase in valuation is a strong reflection of improved business conditions in the state. Indications are that the high record for collections in the Indiana customs district, which was reached in 1929, when duty of more than
