Trade in smoked meats of various
descriptions continued brisk during the
past 80 days, with the little change III
price levels, according to review OF
the meat end l. stock situation in
the United States issued today by the
Institute OF American Meat Packers.
The price differential between heavy
and light pork loins widened further
with the result that the heavier loins
should now represent one of the most
economical buys for consumers. The
statement adds:
1.-THE fresh pork trade was fairly sat
isfactory during the month just closed
The demand for fresh pork products
was only fair. considering the light sup

during the month The beef trade was
unsatisfactory during the first part Of
the month but improved TO some ex-

THE export trade was comparatively

IMPORTS INCREASE.
Gain of $4,000, 900 Shown at Bal
timore-Customs Drop.

timore--Customs Drop.
BALTIMORE. September 1 (spe-
ciaD While imports received at the
port Of Baltimore have jumped over
80, 1000, 900 in value to s65 ,079,64l during
the first seven months of 1928. the
customs receipts at the port have
dropped nearly 100000 during the
same time.
This Is explained by the fact that
most Of the sugar brought here recently
has been the ctstom-free Philippine
Islands product instead Of the usual
run of Cuban sugar, which is subject
to duty.
The sugar of the islands. which arc
possessions Of the United States, can
not be taxed as imports but that from
Cuba nets Uncle Sam about "a cents
per pound
Most ores are entered free of duty
and much of these are entered In Bal-
timore.
Bananas. too. have poured into the
port by the shipload without a penny
being collected. and such animal prod
ucts as hoofmeal. i1ornmeal, dried blood
and bones. used in fertilizers have come
in considerable quantities. all free.
Oil Is another thing that Baltimore
receives much Of and IT. Is very VAL
liable, but gives no cash to the Federal
Golfers.
