Silk  fabrics,  such  as  are  commonly  called  necktie  silks,  ornamented  witii  figures
produced  in  tlie  loom  witli  tiie  Jacquard  attachment,  but  having  no  threads
partly  cut  away  and  none  but  the  warp  and  filling  threads  extending  the  entire
length  and  breadth  of  the  fabric  in  its  completed  condition,  and  which  have  two
colors  in  the  filling,  are  dutiable  at  50  per  cent  ad  valorem  under  the  provision
in  paragraph  391,  act  of  1897,  for  "Jacquard  figured  goods  in  the  piece,  made
on  looms,"  etc.  Silk  fabrics  of  the  same  class,  but  having  only  one  color  in
the  filling,  are  dutiable  under  paragraph  387  of  said  act.  Silk  fabrics  figured
with  the  swivel  attachment  to  the  loom,  without  the  use  of  the  Jacquard
attachment,  are  not  "Jacquard  figured  goods,"  but  are  dutiable  under  para-
graph 387.  Threads  introduced  by  the  swivel  attachment  are  not  "filling,"
and  are  not  to  be  counted  in  determining  whether  a  fabric  has  "two  or  more
colors  in  the  filling."  Silk  fabrics  having  some  figures  produced  by  the  Jac-
quard attachment  and  others  by  the  swivel,  the  filling  being  all  one  color  and
the  swivel  threads  of  a  different  color,  are  "Jacquard  figured  goods  in  the
piece,"  but  not  having  "two  or  more  colors  in  the  filling,"  are  dutiable  under
paragraph  387.  (T.  D.  21569— G.  A.  4542;  September  1,  1899. )
