company, where he has been arranging
Tor the construction Of four concentrating
plants and smelling plants sufficient to
smeIt the product Of the conceutrators.
The president Of the American Ifnseed
Company. Guy G Major said that the
principal reason for the consolidation
which he and his associates in the man
asemeut OF that company have asreed
to IS found in the great economies
which viii be effected in the handling of
both Inseed oil and white lead He did
not deny that il would have been possible
10 effect merger with either the National
Lead Company or the Union Lead and OIL
Company, and said that he was convinced
that the new Bale. process for making
white lead determined the wisdom of con
sofidating with the Union Lead and oil
company Mr. Major added that the
terms on which the consolidation had
been effected We're entirely favorable to
the stockholders Of the American Liusee1
Company, who, he said. would receive
profits on their stock from every branch
OF the paint industry, from the rninFne, of
the blue lead and the growth of the fax
seed 10 the marketing of the white lead
and the oil.
President Wise, Of the Union Lead and

OF ms company amer the merger with
the Lins@ed company had been accom-
plished, would amount TO only 81 Bs0 600
and that there would be only one class os

THE GERMAN NEAT LAWS.
MisconstructiOn of the Statutes
Leads to Their Violation.

Richard GUenther, the United States
Consul General at Frankfort, has sent to
the State Department the following order
OF the Prussian Secretary of the Treas
ury:
Various circumstances indicate that
the provision of the law with reference
to the inspection Of meat, to have been
enforced October J. 1900. according to
which the importation of meat in air
tight boxes or similar vessels, or of sau-
sages and other mixtures Of chopped
meat was prohibited. has not been rieidIy
enforced by the authorities. 1t seems that
after the aforementioned time. meat
products Of such nature have been in
ported into the Empire contrary to this
prohibition
"On the other hand, based upon an er-
rODeous construction of the law. separate
pieces Of meat have been refused admis-
sion, as, for example, smoked rolled hams.
which do not rightly come under this pro-
hibition; for under paragraph L, section
1, Of the law. III addition to canned meat
and sausages, only mixtures of chopped
meat, like scraped meat, head-cheese.
etc, are to Ee included
Doubts have also arisen whether the
prohibition applies to the passing through
in transit of the meat products mentioned
therein.
IN this connection, it is to be borne in
mind that the meat inspection law in
tends solely to protect Germany against
danger in the hygienic and veterinary
field To establish a protection for for
eign consumers was not intended, as is
Enthusiastically shown by the preamble of
the law As. however, it is declared by
experts that the mere passing through in
transit of the goods mentioned, if it takes
place at once and in bond. can cause no
injury to the country. either from a by
gienic OF a Dolice-yeterinary standpoint.
such transit under the conditions men
toned IS to be deemed permissible. as well
as the immediate transit Of meat without
the examination prescribed for imported
goods, according to the explicit provision
IN paragraph I3, article ! section 2. BY
immediate transit, only that transit is +,
De understood which takes place without
the goods remaining in the country any
longer than Is required for welI-ordered
transportation Incompatible with this
condition, and therefore not permissible.
