2. RED CEDAR. 



Two species of tree are included under this name as coming 

 from America, namely — 



{a) PENCIL WOOD FROM JDNIPERUS VIRGINIANA. 



From the above figures a decrease in the quantities imported 

 during the last two years is apparent, due, according to the 

 market reports, to poor quality and small size being sent. The 

 quantities given by no means indicate the amount really imported 

 and used in Germany, as one factory alone, that of John Faber in 

 Nuremberg, uses 210,000 cubic feet, or 2,500,000 feet B.M.,' per 

 year ; and another, A. W. Faber, in Stein, about 50,000 cubic feet. 

 A great deal is imported into Bremen under the general heading 

 of " cedar," so that it was impossible to find out what kind. 



(6) CIGAR-BOX WOOD FROM CEDRELA ODORATA. 



Imports from the United States. 



This table does not show a steadily increasing quantity im- 

 ported, as large amounts are received from the South and Central 

 American countries. Besides this, ready-made cigar-box boards 

 are also sent, and tend to equalise the varying supplies of logs 

 from all sources. It is, perhaps, of interest to note the quantities 

 imported from other countries.
