REVIVAL OF LARD
EXPORTS is TALKED
Reported Sale of 100000 Pounds
to Germany Spurs Interest
of Provision Men.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 8.-Reported
sale of 100000 pounds of lard to
Germany and indications of increas-
ing foreign interest in domestic lard
today gave rise to hopes among pro-
vision men for revival of the i'm
portant export trade in this COM
modify.
Germany. normally a heavy user of
American lard, recently has been
virtually out of the domestic market,
partly because of exchange restric-
tions.
This week, however, the trade heard
that a barter deal by which 100000
pounds will go to the Reich had been
completed by Swift & Co. Officials
Of the big packing concern refused to
confirm this and the German con-
sulate said the transaction had not
teen reported to him.
A 100000 consignment is almost
three times the total amount of United
States lard taken by Germany in
1885. Last year the Reich imported
1,543,000 pounds. the smallest volume
in years. In 1884 the import was
26,687,0G0
