Some shopkeepers are absolutely without stocks and others are rationing kerosene' by tho pint. The position is being keenly felt in tho country districts, where farmers largely depend on kerosene for lighting. A heavy demand for candles is one result, and supplies of candles also are very limited. Importers of kerosene anticipate that the shortage.will continue throughout the winter monhs.
