guano, and five tons of penguins. The sales in the able A
amounted to 3,000 tons, so that there has been a consider, et
mentation of the stock in hand. Prices have ranged tioies
in
to 6/ 15s. per ton ; but this depreciation is probably atiriu-.o.iyieg,
part, to the fact that the guano recently arrived, and noW •
is not of so good a quality as the previous importations
