Greatest Ivory Market.

Antwerp recently has became the principal ivory market of the world. It lias surpassed Liverpool for nearly two years in the amount of Imports. This change of center Is due to the fact that, while all the tusks from central tropical Africa were formerly carried to Zanzibar and thence to Bombay and Liverpool, a large part of the trade lias now been diverted down the Congo to the Belgian steamers, and they land the product at Antwerp.
