Products

month OF May 1911, when compared
with the same month a year ago. The
total exports of meats for the II months

marked. In the case of lard, for ex-
ample, of which the export price in
May, 1911, was according to figures of
the Bureau of Statistics, 90 cents per

million in the corresponding month of
1910. Bacon, of which the average
export price in May, 1911, was 1913
cents per pound, against 1913 cents
per pound in May of last year, shows
also a large increase in the quantity ex-
ported, the total for May being II mil
lion pounds, against 81 million in the
corresponding month last year, though
for the II months ending with May,
1911, the total is less than in the same
months of the prior year, being 1877 1-3
million pounds, against 144 million in
the corresponding months of 1910.
Hams and shoulders of which the
average export price in May, 1911, is
lis cents per pound against 14.6 cents
per pound in May, 1910, shows total
expectation in May of the current year
of II million pounds against It million
IN the corresponding month of 1910.
Fresh beef which shows but slight re-
ductlon in the export price, 10 cents a
pound in May, 1911, against 1913 cents
per pound in May, 1910, shows but
slight increase in quantity, exported,
being for May, 1911, A. millions pounds
against little over million pounds in
May, 1910. Beef sailed or picked, of
which the export price in May, 1911, is
I3 cents per pound, against 81 cents
per pound in May, 1910, shows total eX-
ports for May of the current year
amounting to 3 million pounds, against
d in May Of the preceding year. But
ter also shows a marked decline in eX-
port price, and an eQnally marked adj
vance in the quantity exported, the eX-
port price in May, 1911, being 20. cents
per pound, against 25.5 cents in May,
1910, the quantity exported in May, 1911,
being 497 thousand pounds, against 331
thousand pounds in MAY, 1910. Cheese, /
OF which the export price in May, 1911, |
was ll.5 cents per pound against 15.5
in May, 1910, shows exports of nearly
million pounds, against about million
in May 1910. Cattle, which are OK
ported chiefly for meat purposes, show
20, 600 head exported in May, 1911, /
against little less than 1000 in May
of last year. Indications are that the
