That the merchandise and issues involved in the instant appeal to reappraisement are similar in all material respects to the merchandise and issues involved in United States v. J. J. Gavin & Co., Inc. (Soeldner-Heyman Company), Reappraisement No. 7808;
That on or about the date of exportation such merchandise was freely offered for sale to all purchasers for home consumption in the principal market of India in the usual wholesale quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, in condition, packed ready for shipment to the United States at the following prices:
Dubak quality — 55 Rs. 12 Annas per ton of 2240 lbs.
