control numbers below 153 inclusive for fresh ones. We therefore beg them 

 to search for such numbers and send them to our Branch Office, when the 

 new tins will be forwarded in due time next spring, unless prompt return 

 is demanded expressly. Powdered Pollantin is of unlimited keeping quality 

 and therefore is not taken back again. 



Rose "Schimmel § Co." (Red Rose). In referring to German rose 

 oil on p. 75 of the present Report, we laid stress upon the fact that we 

 have this season been compelled to make it our chief object to prepare 

 a sufficient quantity of the natural basis of the above-mentioned new 

 speciality. To have fully achieved this object, in spite of the unfavour- 

 able circumstances, has been for us an ample recompense for the dis- 

 appointments which the present year's crop of roses in Miltitz has brought 

 us. Our "Red Rose" has gained the goodwill of experts in every country 

 where delicate rose-perfumes are appreciated, and we can hardly recall 

 so striking a success with any other of our specialities in this line. The 

 scent of the preparation is so perfect and so delicately reproduced that 

 in most cases it is possible to use the "Red Rose" by itself, without any 

 addition of other perfumes and oils. It is true that we have made pre- 

 parations to cope with a considerable demand during the season now 

 before us, but all the same we feel bound to impress upon our friends 

 that this perfume, with its natural basis, cannot be manufactured at will 

 throughout the seasons, and to suggest to them that they should bespeak 

 their requirements in good time. 



Safrol has throughout been in great demand, hence, when large and 

 cheaper supplies of crude camphor oil came to hand from Japan there was 

 no need for more than a slight reduction in the price. A brisk business, 

 more particularly for future delivery, then developed, and as a result of 

 this a large portion of our output has been disposed of. We produce 

 this article on such a large scale, however, that we are able to meet any 

 pressure which may be put upon our manufacturing-powers. 



Thymol. No alteration worth mentioning has taken place in the 

 position of the thymol market during the summer-months, for the heavy 

 stocks of this preparation, which stand in cheaply on the basis of a cost- 

 price of 8/- per cwt. for ajowan seed, have not yet been cleared. Rather 

 there are complaints of the generally listless character of the business 

 in thymol, and even the fact that in the meantime the price of the raw 

 material has risen to about 9/6 per cwt. has so far failed to react upon 

 the thymol-prices. Not until some of the principal price-cutters are growing 

 tired of further competition will there be any possibility of an improvement 

 in the position. The imports of ajowan seed via Hamburg up to the end 

 of August of the present year only amounted to about 7850 bags, as com- 

 pared with 25500 bags in the corresponding period of the year 1910.
