Ihe Bee.)-Mr. william o Brten addressed
the Cork advisory committee at its last
meeting. He said that they had to battle
their way through many discouragements
without any national funds at their back
But the fact remained that the Cork ad-
visory committee was the only body in the
country that had exercised any real or
salutary influence upon the working of the
purchase act. and he thought the country
was now beginning to realize all that might
have been effected IL they had in every
county In ireland established a body such
as that Of men OF reasonableness, OF fair
ness. of indisputable representative weight,
and II they had the whole organized
strength OF the league at their back and
II they also had at their back the enor-
nous funds which had been lavished for
the last few years on purposes, he was
afraid, less beneficial to the farmers and
laborers OF Ireland. He looked with
good deal of interest for the speech made
recently, by Mr. Redmond at Kilteely. and
he confessed he read IL with considerable
disappointment. He had hoped that a man
OF Mr.. Redmond's great position as leader
OF the Irish party would have recognized
frankly the grave position in which that
party found itself, owing not TO any ac-
tion Of his (Mr. OBrien's). but to it's own
sion, and would have placed before the
country some broad and statesmanlike pro-
pcsai to bring Irishmen together and find
some remedy for state OF things which,
as every man in the country knew. had re-
duccd the movement here at home and in
Parliament 10 an unreal shadow. There
was nothing but the same vague old mean
ingiess parrot cry about unity, without
any reference to what they were to be
united about, and without any reference TO
the fact that he had a completely united
country and a completely united party in
the hollow OF his hand for the last three
years, with no other resui. but the state
Of collapse in which the Irish causs was

Pigs and Horses Scarce.
The Comparative scarcity OF bacon pigs
In the fairs and markets OF ireland for
some time past has naturally given rise
TO the statement. that grocers and provi-
sion dealers anticipate very shortly rise
IN the price OF home bacon.
Asked how he accounted for the falling
on in the rearing OF pigs In the country,
considering that the last potato harvest
had been a tolerably good one. one OF the
leading dealers replied that he believed
It was owing to the large imports Of

feeding The price Of Irish bacon al
present was shilings per hundred less
than twelve months ago. and it has stood
almost stationary at that figure since Sep

present rates. This authority sold a good
deal OF Canadian bacon. which, he said. h'
