Opinion by

Ekwall, J.

In accordance with stipulation of counsel the court found that the facts herein agreed upon were such as to bring the case within the holding in John Barr v. United States ( 11 Cust. Ct. 88 , C. D. 801), which record was incorporated herein. (See John Barr v. United States, 324 U. S. 83 .) In accordance therewith it was held that the currency of the invoice should be -converted at the buying rate in the New York market at noon on the day of -exportation (the “free” rate of exchange for pounds sterling), as certified by the Federal Reserve bank and set forth by the collector on entry 7087. The protest was sustained to this extent.
