Im- ports in 1931 amounted to 11,426,096 pounds, valued | at $4,430.721 The reasons given by not comparing domestic and foreign costs of production are as follows: (a) The domestic and the imported crab meat are produced from two widely differ- ent species of crabs, each yielding meat distinguishable in taste, color, and tex- ture; (b) Both the domestic and the imported meat are packed in a varicty of grades. About 75 per cent. of the imported product is high grade fancy meat, but only 29 per cent. of the domestic product is the high grade fancy pack; “(ey.
