Common Spanish fustic which in September, 1852, was only L3 10s. per ton, now fetches L6 10s. in the Liverpool market; and there is a great demand for all kinds of dyewoods.  Tampico and Puerto Cabello fustic are now worth L6 10s. to L7 the ton, Cuba ditto, L9 10s. to L10.

Sappan wood is L4 higher than last year; barwood has risen cent per cent; logwoods are L2 per ton higher.

RED SANDERS WOOD (Pterocarpus santalinus), which is hard and of a bright garnet red color, is employed to dye a lasting reddish brown on wool.  It only yields its color to ether or alcohol.  The tree, which is a lofty one, is common about Madras and other parts of India; it is also indigenous to Ceylon, Timor, and other Eastern islands.  The exports of this wood from Madras in one year have been nearly 2,000 tons.

The imports of red Sanders wood from Calcutta and Bombay chiefly into London are to the extent of 700 or 800 tons a year, worth L6 to L9 per ton.

Of FUSTIC we import from 1,500 to 2,000 tons annually.  We derive our supplies from Brazil, Tampico, Puerto Cabello, Cuba, and Jamaica.  The best is obtained from Cuba; for while the common white fustic from Jamaica and the Spanish Main fetches only L5 10s. to L6 10s. the ton, that of Cuba realizes from L8 to L9 10s. the ton.

SAPPAN WOOD (Caesalpinia Sappan) is an article of considerable commerce in the East.  It is the bukkum wood of Scinde, and is procured in Mergui, Bengal, the Tenasserim Provinces, Malabar and Ceylon.  In 1842 as much 78,000 cwts. were shipped from Ceylon, but the export from thence has decreased.  This island, however, ships dyewoods annually to the amount of L2,000.  A large quantity is exported from Siam and the Philippine Islands; as much as 200,000 piculs annually from the former, and 23,000 piculs from Manila. 3,524 piculs were shipped from Singapore in 1851, and 4,074 piculs in 1852.  The picul is about one cwt. and a quarter.  Sappan wood yields a yellowish color, like that of Brazil wood (C. brasiliensis) but it does not afford of dye matter so much in quantity or so good in quality.
