Another fact is cited to prove that poppy cultivation has pot ́ ya! beaa suppressed, namely, that native opiam is to dearer now than it was two or three years ago, Nor, says the Shampao, is this due to rapid dimination in the number of smokers: Those who register themselves at the official are still innumerable, and peasants bureaux Carge remaining on board after 4 P.M., of the 1st prox, will be landed at Consignces rink find that poppy cultivation pays at leasi and expense.
