Polk, 237 $685. Birney, 1872 495, s82
The vote is less now than in al E9,22o
Taylors vote is less than Clay's 1881
Cass and Van Buren, less than Polk. 5,477
As il is probable that nearly all Of the 1852
who voted for Birney in 1874, and say 900
Wings, voted for Van Buren,, Cass received at
least sc, 900 more votes from the Locoloco party
than Van Buren,.
Deducting these 81, 912 Abolition and Wing
votes from the aggregate vote cast for Van Buren,
and Cass and the Locofoco vote, as indicated by
these aggregates, is So 2S9 less than it was in IA
If these 10000 Wing votes-or the number
of votes now cast for Van Buien by men who vo.
ted for Clay in 1944-had been cast for Taylor,
his vote would have exceeded the vote received
by Clay, 6,o69.
Provision TRADE-The New York
Post remarks: One of the greatest draw
backs to the consumption of our provis.
ions abroad, and in the English market is,
that good descriptions have not taken that
stand, as to packing. quality. and good
clear pickle necessary for consumption, es'
pecially among such people as the Eng
lish, tied as they are to numerous conven'
tionaities and old usage. That this has
been detrimental to the above branch of
our trade no one will question, yet that an
improvement is now perceptble, has been
universally conceded, but not enough 10
meet or remove the objections persisted in
on the other side. Take, for instance, the
important article of our shipping hams,
the proper mode Of curing which we ex
tract from a letter of our Liverpool cor
respondent, now, and for many years
LARGE dealer in the above line: .
"Your hams have not yet taken that
stand in the English market which they
must ultimately reach. No article in the
trade requires so much care in the manu-
facture; the great dssideratum is midness
of cure with mellowness of flavor We
believe the former may be obtained by
packing for shipment (afier eighteen or
twenty.one days in the usual process of
cure) with coarse Turks Island or ST. Ubes
salt; this will ensure condition and not act
on the meat 10 the extent that ordinary
salt will. We, however, venture the opin-
ion on this point .reservedly, but lat the
same time, when we find English and Irish
hams sell freely from Cos. TO sos. per cwt.
we think it is worth some attention in the
endeavor to elevate the price of Amer-

In the article of good prime beef, how.
ever, our curing has astonishingly i'm
proved, and we are now able to enter the
field successfully against Irish curers, so
mnch so that our packers Of beef, by the
previous showing of high prices, must have
been well remunerated. The same writer
on that subject says:
"The quality of The best brands of Amer
lean beef are much approved of. The de-
sirablc points being TO have the color a
bright pink, the pickle clear, with good
Gaping of Turks Island or other coarse
salt; the coarse pieces, necks, shanks, &c.

on the cask) correctly put into every

The evil effects Of careless or false econ.
envy in the selection Of quality. and mode Of
packing, is strikingly made apparent in the
