week OF Ootober as compared With
October reports of 1871 and 1872, stands
as much higher than that Of the former

present reduction usually occurs in

fallen off from 80 to 7Sis since the first
week of September; larger reduction
than usually occurs. Ths general ave.

present year was increased about ten
