From 300,000 to 350,000 pounds were produced in 1924, and the 1925 crop is estimated at 250,009 to 300,000 pounds, about half the yield expecied on the ba- sis of acreage planied. mal. consumption in the United States is placed at 400,000 pounds, this meant a deficit in both years. “For some time last Fall the leading factors in the trade re- mained out of the market,” says the bank, “believing that the ar- rival of the new crop would bring down the price of oil, then about | $16 a pound, about four times ihe | normal price prevailing in July, 1924. Instead prices hardened | and eventually started to rise even in the face of an almost quiescent demand. Finally, toward thé end) of October, several large consum- ers who had postponed filling their normal requiremenis as long as possible, were forced to buy heav- ily prices began to ascend in an amaz- ing manner, going from $19 the first of November to $31 before the end of the month. A dearth of orders in recent months sharply at the end of 1925, and by the mid- dle of May the price was $15. jermint oil is produced in the Un- ited States. The industry is cen- though small quantities are grown in Oregon and elswhere.

The American and | English oil is preferred for flav- |oring and the Japanese for men- | thol production because it con- tains a highér proportion of men- thol. Some From Japan “Peppermint oil sis used for flavoring in chewing gum, con- fectionery, dentifrices and other pharmaceutical preparations, and | for menthol manufacture. .Men- thol, the peppermint erystal, is used in solution in throa: and ne alsprays. salves and- cough drops. A considerable share of domestic {menthol requirements is supplied by imports of the Japanese Nag uct. “Spearmint oil, similar to pep- permint oil but not so strong in flavor, has likewise been in ‘shori pply in 1925-26. The attrac- ive prices paid for peppermint ollowing the small 1924 crop aused many planters to abandon spearmint production for pepper- mint. Consequently the 1925 spearmint crop, about 75,000 | pounds, was approxima‘ely one- | fourth of normal. The price went | up correspondingly, reaching $14 at one time, but it now stands Lago. “The supply of peppermint oil | on hand is scarcely adequate, even | with demand cut down to the min- imum, Japanese corn-mint oil is the ‘ most available supplement, but the Department of Agricul- ture’s ruling forbids its use in pharmaceutical formulas approved by the United States Pharmaco- poeia wi-hout proper labeling.
