WASHINGTON, May 2l. - There is not one of the 20 or more packing houses in New York that complies with the federal sanitary regulations; there is not one which slaughters animals in manner in- tended to best safeguard the public health; there is not one that genu- spector's order when he attempts to remedy conditions, nor one that would not permit worse conditions to exist were it not for the weak, restraining hand that the federal authorities now place upon them.'
 This was the amazing preface to testimony offered by Dr. John A. Laddey, a former federal meat in spector. stationed at New York and Newark, N. J., before the house com mittee conducting a preliminary in quiry into the federal meat inspec' tion service.
 'I felt that I could no longer re main government meat inspector and retain my self-respect," said Dr Laddey. His resignation was dated Decemer P, 1911, or eleven years after he had been assigned to the ranch plant of Swift & Co.,, at New ark.
 I was overruled for condemninf meat that had been trailed over the floor in the United Dressed Beel

battle cruiser which has a speed greater by six knots than that of the Texas. and is equipped with eight l4-inCh guns.
 He also stated that the informa- ton at the department was that Japan was about to complete three other battle cruisers equal to that launched.
 The facts, according to these de yelopments, are that Japan will have afloat by the completion of the Texas and New York, four new battle cruisers equal to dread noushts, with battery of thirty two 14-inch guns, as against twenty l4-iuch guns of the Texas and New York
 These facts seem to discredit the theory of some Of the experts at the navy department that the Unit ed States would remain ahead on the question of big battleships.

BUSINESS HOLDS UP.
Recent Improvement Maintained and
Advances Noted in Some Lines.

New York, Aug. 17.-R. G. Dunn
& Company's weekly review of trade
says:
The Industrial and trade situation
ment and a further advance in activ-
ity is noted in the reports from the
leading centers.
Everything points to a continuance
of the present activity in iron ana
steel and the advancing trend of quo
tationS promises increased profits to
the producer. Crude steel is becom-
ing Scaroer and merchant pig iron
furnaces have practically contracted
all of the output for the third quarter.
Tin plate and sheets are very active
and there is prospect of an advance in
quotations.
Well maintained activity is still the
leading feature in dry goods. Some
hesitation was caused in the cotton
goods division by the decline in raw
cotton, but the only effect noted was
a softening in print cloths. Drills.
sheetings and duck and heavy color
strength and some lines of fine goods
have advanced. Cotton yarns are
quiet and practically unchanged, but
worsted yarns are in good demand
and firm.
Although the demand for footwear
shows Improvement, the enhanced
prices asked by manufacturers still
cause much conservatism on the part
of buyers. All kinds of feathers con-
tinue in good demand, without any
very large transactions, tanners still
refusing to contract ahead in any con-
siderable quantity at present quota
tons. Trading in upper feathers is
steady, but no special activity is
shown. Business is steady in volume
and would be still more active were
supplies not so closely cleaned up.
