mard for gutra pcrcha in laying the new
submarine cables, il is said, will increase
the price of that commodity 50 that dear

already expensive sport. The price of
balls already has begun To 20 up, and as
merchants in the country are anticipat
ing Il shortage next year the Scotch man
ufacturerS are delugri with orders.
The estimate for the trade Of the Unit
Cd States next year places the number Of
balls wanted ut 2,0U0,01A. This means
eighty five tons of gutta prrcha. The
price at present for Il dozen is from
$500 to $3.50. The advance Of Gd Il
dozen recently was explained 10y the
statement that the same quality Of gutta
percha is used in the construction Of
