ton or American Lard.
LONDON, July 14.-The North German
Gazette of Berlin, quotes letter from
Sargent the American Minister, in which

Sargent reproduces articles from Gin
cinnati paper in which it is declared
that half the lard manufactured in
America consists of cotton seed oil.
tallow, clay and water. The Times cor
respondent at Berlin says it is believed
the German government has now found
the long sought for pretext for favoring

alleging that American lard is impure,
