the sales OF hides have exceeded the kill Tor

Tho Williams & Flash CO. OF New York. In
their circular Of May IS SAY.
Tho decline In lard has been reflected In A
somewhat duller market for oL and hero
and there plght shading OF prlc, ON small
dcrk lots, IN order to force quick sales, but
holders, in the main are very firm. aad show
no inclination TO release their holdings oX-
cent at ful prices.
We consider the Statistical position ~ lard
Just aR strong today Ms 1t was D week OF Two
since, when 1t WAS selling az sully throo-
quarters OF cent . pound higher than its
present figure and while manipulation may
keep prices down for u few weeks, IN the
long run we are believers in higher values
for this commodity. This helng tie case there
Is no reason why prime aud choice grades OF
cotton seed oil should not enhance In value.
as the season advances, especially an tallow
In aleo tn very firm position. and liable To
continue to advance, OF course. we are going
to have our duh periods. and some anxious
Spectator or Bonc impatient holder of spot
lots Is liable TO shade prices TO force salcs
but IN the main the larger holders are willing
To wait dntll buyers meet thcir prices.
There have been sales Of sOmc 800 barrels
OF primo yellow at cGc 7, o. b. here aud about
1880 barrels of off yellow at gila to 25c T. o. b.
Crude has been rpthor neglected owing to
the high fgnrea asked and the fact that
very lttlo OF the holdings will now grade MS
u strictly prime oil.
We quote prime yellow at 26e. Off yellow
