Spices and Pepper. 

 Samples of spices and pepper put up in packages were pur- 

 chased in different places during the month of March. These 

 were subjected to a full chemical analysis and microscopical 

 examination. The chemical results are not given here but they 

 show that the goods were all in conformity with the standards. 

 The microscopical examination shows, as indicated under 

 "Remarks," that in the case of one sample of allspice and one 

 sample of cloves that there were rather more stems present than 

 should be in first-class goods.
