The 'former is capa ble of producing 6000 quintals annually1, bul the Austrian Government limits the quauiiiy to 1500 quintals, lest the market should be overstocked, 'and its value reduced. The law ter produces ' about. 5000-quinlals annually.' In Peru there are quicksilver mines which produce, or al least have produced abundantly. Between .ihe years 1750 and 1800 they are said lo haye furnished 537,000 quintals, or 53,700,000 pounds. The present annual pro. duct is Vated a'1800 quintals or ' 180,000 pounds.
