Dill Oil. The cultivation of dill has increased considerably in 

 Galicia last year, so that material for distillation is now available in 

 abundance. The Galician seed yields an oil which is absolutely equal 

 to that distilled from Thuringian seed. 



According to the new German Tariff, dill seed has remained exempt 

 from duty, although it really belongs to the same class as caraway, 

 as it can also be used for alimentary purposes. 



Essential oils, Sicilian and Calabrian. 



From the usual reliable source, Mr. Edoardo Jacob of Messina, 

 we received the following valuable information on the essence market. 



The statistics hereafter show that last year's export, as compared 

 with that of the previous year, has suffered a falling off amounting to 

 137859 kilos, value 1048830 lire, or about 14%. 



This reduction in the export is not, however, in any way due to a 

 decline in the demand from abroad, but must be attributed to the fact that 

 with the comparatively feeble crops of the winter-season 1904/ 1905, 

 smaller quantities of oil were available for the export than in the preceding 

 year. It has probably never happened before that the market has passed 

 over from one season into another with stocks of all kinds of essences 

 completely cleared out, as was the case in the autumn of 1905.
