The same applies to an examination of a suspected star anise oil 

 published by Evans Sons, Lescher § Webb, Lim. 1 ). Here also, on the 

 analytical values communicated, it must remain an open question whether 

 the oil concerned was merely deficient in anethol or adulterated. 



Tansy Oil. Although the American crop of tansy oil for 1910 did 

 not yield very well, there still remains an over-supply on account of the 

 large held-over stocks of the preceding year. 



There is no reason to anticipate an advance of any importance un- 

 less speculative interests interfere.
