The Toothpick Market.
Nearly all the toothpick mills in this state are now closed, in consequence of overproduction and inability to dispose of accumulated stocks even at the present low prices. The original and largest manufacturer in Oxford county informs us that he now wholesales his goods for less than one-twelfth of their cost when he commenced manufacturing in 1861.—Lewiston Journal.
