coming in more freely, and up to date the receipts
are largely in excess Of the previous year, andarc
mostly confined to the medium and lower grades,
Il considerable portion of which is badly frosted.
Receipts of loose from October to November 30,
1850, $3.50 pounds; from October TO Novem-
Der 80, 1881, 332405 pounds-showing an excess
Of 2Ts,S95 pounds, which is unqucstionably due
