Rue Oil. The great drought in Spain and Algeria has much impeded 

 the distillation of sufficient quantities of oil, and has, in fact, made 

 distilling impossible in certain districts. It has therefore been necessary 

 to pay high prices for the few small lots of good quality which were to be 

 found. We have had to alter our selling-prices in accordance with this fact. 



Sage Oil. The distillers in Istria and Dalmatia supply sufficient oil 

 to meet the requirements at unaltered cheap rates, and the position of 

 the article affords no cause for comment. 



Sandalwood Oil, East Indian. Careful readers of our Reports will 

 not be surprised to hear that the prices of sandalwood oil have made a 

 further advance in the course of the summer. It will be remembered that for 

 more than a year we have clearly foretold the present upward movement. 



The stocks of cheap wood are completely exhausted, and as the 

 calculations of value of the oil now require to be based upon the prices 

 paid for wood at the last auctions it is a matter of course that the 

 quotations of oil must be increased. As for a considerable time past we 

 have advised our customers to avail themselves of the cheap rates while 

 there was time, no one will find fault with us for now asking an advance. 

 A further rise in the market is probable in the future, for the Mysore 

 Government will certainly take care that the wood which is to be offered 

 for sale at this year's auctions is not disposed of* at lower prices than 

 those paid at the previous sales. We have again advanced our quotations 

 in our October list and there is no doubt that we shall have to ask for 

 further increases in case of large contracts to be delivered next year. 



The annual auction sales of sandalwood of the Mysore State will be 

 held at the undermentioned koties on the date specified against each, by 

 the District Forest Officer in conjunction with the Deputy Commissioner 

 of the District or an Assistant Commissioner deputed by the Deputy 

 Commissioner: —
