As these cargoes embrace the most' '.f , and valuable
selections in Panel, Counter-top, Tabl C':' . IVeneer
Woods, in logs and curls, every buyer q, . ogany will here
meet with whatever variety and excel .nc, he may require.
The advantages of measurement over eve other market in
the kingdom cannot be too frequently repeated ; every third
log (reckoned by the Customs' calliper) being allowed as
tare or draft—agreeably to an established usage peculiar to
Liverpool. Again, the foreign and distimt buyers have here
every advantage equally with the local or resident buyer,
because all these Woods are invariably arranged for the pur-
pose of facilitating public inspection and examination, not
only prior to, but at the time of sale ; each lot being so
placed that the stranger can test the quality, sizes, and
chargeable measurement, through a most lucid catalogue,
and a detailed measurement affixed to every individual piece
composing the lot to be knocked off : so that the Mahogany
merchant, Cabinet-maker, Machine-maker, imach-maker,
the Ship builder, and the House-builder or Joiner, all meat
the importers of Mahogany in the most open, wise, and li-
beral mode of trade ; which reciprocal advantages being daily
more and more appreciated, to the mutual satisfaction of
buyer and seller. The general Mahogany trade, thus facili-
tated, is verging to, and largely increasing in Liverpool, the
central market of the United Kingdom—the shippers abroad
preferring it to every other as a depot for the most superb
specimens of Spanish Wood.
Although the season of the year is not the most favourable
for travelling, the excellencies of these cargoes, respectively
selected and loaded by the most extensive and practical men
of St. Domingo and Honduras—" Rothschild and Vaughan"
—the marked depression in price at which these rare woods
just now rate, should induce every prudent person to buy
freely at this most favourable period in the year for cutting
up for seasoning.
Parties who may wish to receive detailed particulars of the
Woods to be sold, either by auction or by private bargain,
may have the same by post—that is to say, the actual, con-
trasted with the Brokers' chargeable, measurement of each
piece of Mahogany, with its description and valuation ; or,
the particulars in regard of the other American, European,
&c. &c. Woods, so as to contrast their quay measurements
with the Customs' or calliper of Logs, and Foreign or intake
measurements of Deals or Planks, distinguishing, of course,
Rose, Zebra, and Box Woods, and all such as are sold only
by weight—so that all can be sufficiently qualified to benefit
themselves by giving orders to their agents, if they prefer
this mode of business, or be prevented from personally at-
tending these sales.
