The "dasturi pembi" of years was torn up by the roots [[strikethrough]][[?]][[/strikethrough]], and chucked over the fence today. Hereafter minimum prime and cutch are to be five pounds heavier, and gendi ten. Childs & Co. haven't come up, of course, so they'll probably get all the light prime, from forty up, and the chances are the cutch as well. However, they are welcome to it, for we want the big ras every time. If they have to pay our ras prices for that light stuff, they won't find it very profitable in the end.
