A Perfumerx Trust.

A syndicate, supported by a powerful
bank, has recently secured the whole of the
Veronese orris root crop and nine-tenths Of
that of Florence, and the small quantity Of
Florence root still in the growers hands is
held at enormous prices. AT least, Consul
Halstead at Birmingham has informed the
State Department to that effect. The Brit
ish vice consul at Leghorn, who is quoted
as authority for the statement. says further
that orris root is used as the basis of all
perfumes by the manufacturers of England
France and Germany, and is obtainable
only around Florence and in the neighbor-
hood of Verona. Importers must look
therefore, to two small districts in one
country for the whole of their supplies Of
an indispensable article.
