So far there has not been much to justify this opinion, as the amount coming forward to the grading stores has been considerably less than for last year, when the industry was in full swing, and last month's figures were less than a fifth of those for the previous August. The quality of the hemp, moreover, is not particularly good, many of the hanks being braised and poorly scutched, while others are stained, the result in many instances of the leaf being cut too low, and in others of being insufficiently washed. Several mills are commencing operations next week, and it is considered that those who are milling their own leaf will be amply repaid. Experts will not say the same'for those who have to pay royalties or heavy freight charges on the raw material. It is held that prices .* ill firm, and that the demand will be for the better qualities, and " lair" to " good fair" will be wanted by the merchants.
