Previous to the American troubles the demand for all descriptions 
of resinous matter being very limited, a great portion of the pine forests 
in this and in the neighbouring department was left unproductive. The 
owners of these forests and the manufacturers of resin assert that the

state that should the demand increase, a much larger quantity could be 
readily obtained, considerable portions of the forests being still avail-
