actual state Of things. This tendency,
which originates in the fears Of both SELL

no adequate check TIL the perception Of
actual scarcity. There are not any Ma.

scarce. and those for shipment were for
the Irish market.
The import Of quercitron bark this year

steady, and the stock IS considerably re-
