CAMPHOR TREES IN JAPAN.
Forests OF the People Depleted by Exces
sive Use.

Forests Of the People Depleted by Excess
sive Use.
The British consul at Hiogo states
that the camphor tree of Japan is
huge symmetrical evergreen, not un-
like the linden, with white blossom
and red berry. Some of the trees are
fully fifteen feet in diameter and more
than three hundred years old. The
annual export of camphor averages
about five million pounds, of which
about one-fourth goes to the United
States, a little to India and the re-
mainder to Europe.
The reckless use of the timber has
nearly exhausted the forests owned by
the people. The government forests,
however, are still so rich in camphor
trees that they can be relied upon to
maintain alone the full average sup
ply for twenty-five years, while trees
are now being planted and under pres
ent scientific management are expected
to be ready for use in twenty-five or
thirty years
Hitherto the youngest wood from
which camphor has been extracted has
been seventy or eighty years old. A
satisfactory yield is ten pounds of
crude camphor from 200 pounds of
wood chips, the production OF the root
being somewhat more, and village in
Tosa contains a group of thirteen
trees, about one hundred years old,
whose probable total is estimated at
forty thousand pounds of crude
| camphor The trees, as they stand,
are valued at four Thousand dollars

New YORK, March THE announce
ment of the suspension on the Stock ex-
change of the firm of Hunter, Clark &
Jacobs. made shortly before the close of
business, was somewhat of surprise, As
it was not known to be involved in any
operations on the wrong side of the
market. AS the sequel proves, the firm
was involved by Mr.. Clark. one of its mem-
bers. who signed the firms name to n
number OF fifteen-day privileges 10 sugar
at 81, pocketing the proceeds of his sale
of privileges, and then when the market
jumped up on him, leaving the
firm, which knew nothing of his
operations, to redeem their paper. After
paying out some $50, 900. the firm made an
assignment, not knowing how many more
privileges were outstanding. Had Clark s
little speculation been successful, his oper-
ations would never have come to light,
but with 12 per cent loss in sight, there
was nothing left for him but to confess or
run. Nothing is known of his where
abouts, and as the firm refuses to make
any statement regarding its affairs before
tomorrow, it's liabilities cannot be ascer
tanned before then. That this should
have been the only Casualty OF the
sugar squeeze is a matter of cOngratula.

Today's share speculation was in marked

day. A strong tone pervaded the market,

DRY GOODS PICKING UP.

NEW YORK, March There seems to be
some improvement developing in the dry
goods market, although there is no disposition
to exceed immediate requirements. Cottons
show no improvement, although the demand
for goods is of the regular character. Prices
are irregular. but do not appear to be any
longer than previously. Wide sheeting has
been reduced for the stock on hand. Business
in prints and printed fabrics is fairly satisfac-
tory. although In such cases at a low level of
prices Ginghams are quiet and woolen goods
somewhat more active, jobbers seeming to
be more inclined to enter the market than at
any time for quite period.

other substantial increase in the -four out
put last week. The quantity ground was
l12 500 barrels. averaging 27,s99 barrels,

l35 IlO barrels for the corresponding time

the same capacity is active this week and
the production will be nearly as heavy.
There is not quite as much doing ID -four
as there Was The sales of the mills last
week were not far from 100 600 barrels.
This left quite al excess not taken; the
mills are consequently running to some
extent on other orders. Domestic trade
is lar from active, buyers generally asking
for concessions. What bakers are made
continue TO be exported, together with
some patent. Ciuse prices necessarily

fact that there is nearly enough water
