AMERICAN MEAT TRUST.

Washington, July-11.

The Federal Trade Commission has reported urging the President to take the strongest action with a view to. preventing the meat packing compacies from internationally controlling meat products. The report declares that the five companies, wilt, Armour, Wilson, Morris and Cudahy control 574 companies and have secured a dominating interest in numerous banks enabling them to finance their own international operations and affect the credit of any competing cattle producers. The packers are now seeking to control meat substitutes. They already handle half the poultry, eggs and cheese in interstate commerce.

THE SILVER MARKET.

London, July 10

Messrs. Montag report states that the tendency of the market at the beginning of the week was upward owing to a special order and an inclination to hold up supplies; båt unless purchaser for the Bay can be made a permanently higher level of prices is unjustified. The Indian currency problem is still the principal factor. in the market China Las bought substantially bat seems momentarily to have shot its balt. A feature of the week has been the premium on the price for forward delivery, which is now 1/4 abore the price for cash delivery.

Silver is quiet.
