AuERIcAY HoG PRODUCES IN FRANCE.

Considerable anxiety Is felt among some Of the
provision merchants in the Produce Exchange IA
TO the policy of The new French Ministry in rela-
ton to American hog products. An order was
issued by the French Government. Frbru-
airy ls last prohibiting the importation of
American hog products within her borders because
OF exaggerated and uuwarrantablc reports of the
pieyaicnce OF hog disease. IL was shown afterward
that not on were the reports false. but that, as
lard ~ boiled in the of its manufacture and
the impurities ucutrallled in the refining, there
was no danger of disease from it's consumption. ms
there might be from the eating OF pork or meat.
The law was then modified 10 affect only the
poTatOn Of pork but It cost the provision dealers
of this country thousands Of dollars, and worked
great injury To the trade.
IL is feared now by few that it is the intention
OF the ministry to establish TOO rigid iHspcc-
ton of American lard, as the retiring ministry vas
IN favor OF practically prohibiting It's importation.
But from the cary and large orders for American
hog products from dealers IN France a stronger I'M
preston prevails that the new ministry will be
more cnient, ana will not only not take BrohibItury
measures against ard bus will be glad To resciud
