AMERICAN PORK IN EUROPE.

The State Department records do not show that American pork is excluded by law from Belgium, Great Britain, Portugal, or Russia. On Sept, 3, 1891. Germany removed the prohibition existing in that country with regard to all American hogs and hog products officially certified in America to be free from qualities dangerous to health. The duty was placed at 20 marks the 200 pounds. On Aug. 25, 1892, the German Interior Department recommended by circular the domestic re-examination of American hams and sides before sale. On Sept. 8, 1891, Denmark removed, under similar conditons as to inspection, the Danish prohibition enforced since March, 1888. On Oct. 19, 1891, Italy took similar action, placing the duty at 25 francs the 100 kilos. On Nov. 16, 1891, the French embargo was finally removed. and the same duty was imposed. The removal of the Austrian prohibition was made known in the President's message, Dec. 9, 1891. On May 22, 1892, similar action by Spain was officially announced. Greece abolished the prohibition in March. 1884. In Sweden, exclusion or non-exclusion appears to depend on the result of inspection. Norway and Switzerland have taken no definite action. Turkey declared against American pork in 1882.

In June, 1892, 85,700,000 pounds of hog products were shiped from the United States to Europe, against 46,500.000 pounds in June. 1891. In Sepɩmber. 1892, farmers received an increase of 80 cents per 100 pounds for their hogs, or an average increase of $2 for every hog sold, over Sept., 1890.
