The fall in values is to be accounted several reasons, .chief'.among..which are'tho increased output of .nianilla, and tho .poor cereal, crops last year : and, the prospects ot poorer still this. Bindor twino. manufactured last year .was beyond requirements;.; it is therefore unlikely that .thero will bo any improvement in the markbt this, year. It is a. noteworthy, fact that,high prices for bread and wheat mean a lean, time for flaxmillors.
