THE WORLD'S MEAT TRADE

An oflicial paper on the world's groat moat trade, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, assorts that the entire value of meat animals and their products entering into the world's commerce is fairly represented by the total value of the imports of these articles into 14 leading countries. This amount in 1904, according to an official table, was 507 millions of dollars, which includes some duplication of values due to re-exports, especially from the United Kingdom to the Continent of Europe. Allowing for this duplication,. and on the other" hand for. the. small imports, of countries not mentioned, the value of the world's meat trade in 1904 may be estimated at about 500 millions of dollars, a sum apparently greater than the value of the world's wheat trade. The United States is the leading source of supply of the meat-importing countries, being the origin of about 40 per cent, of the entire international tiade in meat animals and their products, and of nearly 50 per cent, of the packing-house products alone. The total value of packing-house products imported from the United States into France, and Denmark does not appear in the official statistics of those two countries, but the United States official returns during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1904, show that the United States sent 2,000,000 dollars' worth of these articles to France, and 1,700,000 dollars' worth to Denmark. It is regarded as a striking fact that United States supplies a larger share of the packing house products imported, into Germany than into any other European country, Germany importing 58 per cent, from the United States, the Netherlands 57 per cent., Belgium 51 per cent., and the United Kingdom only 42 per cent. The principal part of the imports of this group of articles into Germany, as well as into other countries on the Continent, consists 6r lard'and other ' fats-'and fatty products, in which the United States has but little competition, whilest in the British market the imports from the United States have to meet the large quantities of fresh meat from Argentina, Australasia, and Canada, of bacon from Denmark, and of oleomargarine from the Netherlands.

FACTS ESTABLISHED AT COURT. In an action, the cause of which was flagrant misuse of our firm name and other gross misrepresentations by an company, which was tried before His Honour Chief Justice J. Madden, K.C.M.G., L.L.D., in the Supreme Court, at Melbourne, the prosecution showed:— 1. That Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medical constituents of the eucalypti, in a highly refined and pure form. 2. TEat it is much more powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 3. That it does not depress the heart like ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it contains no harmful ingredients; and 5. TThat it is highly commended by many authorities for the last 30 years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy. Some imitators have tried to deceive the public by simulating our get up ; others have relied on the " just as good" game. Therefore take care and obtain the GENUINE SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT
