ported by the bureau of chemistry Of
the department of agriculture. The out

casks compared with $4,000 last year
and of rosin 1,452066 round barrels Of
approximately 500 pounds each, com.
pared with 1881 600 barrels last year.
These figures do not include wood tur-
pentine, wood rosln, and rosin reclaimed

The totals combine the actual statistics
of production to August /, and pro-
ducers' estimates of production for the
remainder Of the season. The pro-
ducsrs, the report states, seem TO have
been overConservative in their estimates
and it is possible total production will
be somewhat larger than calculated.
The report follows
