Hoes rs. WmALEs.-The New York Journal Of
Commerce says-Amid all the changes which trade
is passing through none is more remarkable than
that in oil. Heretofore the whale fishery has sup
Piled light for a vast portion Of the country. In all
the large towns and villages. sperm oil has been
sold freely. That trade has suddenly ceased. This
spring there has been almost no demand from the
interior for sperm oil, and very little from the city
Camphine and Lard oil have supplied the demand
at cheaper rate. Crude sperm oil has fallen
third in price, and yet remains neglected. The hogs
have run the whales out of market, and are likely
to hold their ground, unless some new process OF
chesping be contrived on the other side. The
woods of the West full of the quadruped
than any is Of the finny whale, and the quad
ruped is much more easily taken. The way now
is to turn the "whole hog" into oil.
In addition to this. We learn that three Lard oil
factories are in operation a Cincinnati, consuming
daily from II to 90 barrels of lard. The oil very
popular there, being used for machinery on the lit
tie Miami Railroad, in all the city works, at the
Hospital and Asylum, in several of the Churches,
and in numerous stores and dwellings.
This new manufacture will, if successful, prove
of immense importance to the West but what will
the whalemen do in the premises. The Tariff must
certainly make provisions to prevent the porkers Of
the West from competing with the whaemen ofthe
East, the country will be ruined, if the peo
pie can get hog oil at half price of whale oil Hur-
