Times Of the 9th speaks of it as numer-

is a large demand for worm poisons. AT
that time $500 pounds of Paris Green,
London Purple and arsenic had been sold.
Every dealer except one, reports that he
has sold more in the past week than in
the whole Of last season.
The Times mentions the presence in
that city Of Mr.. W. :. Barnard, of the U.
