Most of the principal London tanners stated that they had more than an average stock for this period of the year , and that the high prices demanded were not justified by the position and requirements of their firms . It was therefore resolved that the timber merchants' combination to enhance the price from 20 to 25 per cent , beyond that of last seaaon should be resisted , ¦ •«• &„ .
