the present condition of actual operations, viz:

WHAT Is MERCHANTABLE PORK.-The Chicago
Republican publishes an important decision in a |
case tried in the United States Circuit of Chicago
before Judge Drummond and a jury. Plaintiff
Montgomery, through his agents. Waller & Co., |
purchased 1910 barrels of mess pork. The pork |
bought on the statement of the latter, that it
was an excellent, first rate article y and an eX-
animation by one of the purchasing agents, of
few barrels, showed nothing to the contrary. The
pork remained in the defendants cellar from |
March, 1868 until the latter part of May of that
year and on the notification of defendant was
then overhauled andresalted, taking fifteen pounds
of Turks Island salt per barrel. In July, it was
oVeThaued by the inspector, previous to shipment
to New York, and twas then found in a very bad
condition
The principal point was, whether the pork was
properly sailed in the first place, and what con
stituted merchantable mess pork The Chicago
board of trade rules, and the rules of the packers
association require 40 pounds of Turks Island
salt, or IS pounds of domestic salt per barrel to
make it merchantable. The defendants claimed
that Is to 35 pounds of salt was sufficient to make
a merchantable article of mess pork all other
things being right, but that pork packed with that
quantity of salt would have to be overhauled in
the early part of the summer and pickled, Both
