The Importance of the perfumcry
manufacture may be inferred from the
fact that British India and Europe con-
sumo annually about 10000 gallons OF
handkerchief scents alone, and that the
revenue from imported perfumery in
England is estimated ut about 100000,
or $3.50, 900.

nosits. The National Bank circulation

tinue very small compared to last year.

Since Sept. the total exports OF cotton
have been $4,000 bales less than in the

When Lacondamine, in the year
1745, visited the region of the Andes,
the height of the city Of Quito was deter
mined at 1856 feet above the level of the
sea. In 1903 this had decreased, accord
ing to Humboldt, to $50. In 1881
Boussingault found it to be 1857. while
Orton, 1867, reduced it to $3.50; and
finally Keiss and Stubel, in 1870, found
it to be but 1856 feet above the sea
level. Quito must, therefore, be ap-
preaching sea level at the rate of 240
feet in 1875 years.
