' :$ KAURI GUM MARKET. % Anckland Star Offlce, ' '*)' Wednesday, September 1Z I The kauri gnm sent in for the 12 days ot this mouth totals 262 tons. This lncladß black chips and dust, of which a fair ontatity has been sent in by country storekeepers owing to the sudden demand ot better prices. East Coast gum is still rather neglected, as the prices are too high to tempt buyers to operate. Poor swamp gmni are not meeting with mnch inquiry, and although the spring is here, still some of last summers stocks are still In itert nwaiting purchasers. Good ordinary gm» and also medium is still in strong deautl at full rates.
