The Supplement to the Tropical Agriculturist 



steamers and also by the extension of the Assam 

 Bengal Railway, so that the produce of even 

 the most distant Assam gardens can be brought 

 down to Calcutta a week or ten days earlier than 

 heretofore. 



The fluctuations aud trend of prices through- 

 out the season have been noted in our usual 

 weekly circulars, it suiiices here to draw atten- 

 tion to the statistics given at foot, always re- 

 membering that owing to speculative movements 

 connected with anticipations of change in the 

 import duty, no enlightening comparison can 

 be made for the present with the figures either 

 for 1909 or 1908. The point most deserving of 

 mention and notice is that stocks are now much 

 smaller than they were several years ago.
