Smoked and cured meats, especially of the pork kinds, have suffered much, and will suffer more ‘on account of the collapse in lard. Lard is half a dollar per hundred leas than at this time one Week ago, and ithas had a depressing effect on pork. The immense number of hogs and quanti- tes of corn held over from last year ts thought to be the cause of this collapse. The class of lards which wiil suffer mest are those which have been too much watered and otherwise adulterated. ‘The markets are full of adulterated lards, Lower prices are anticipated before August. —.___ The Commencement Season.

There is no reason why, if that was the intention, such action should not have been taken, thus relieving all the parties concerned from any doubt about the matter, In regard to the necessity or tinuing the board after the 30th inst., fully submit meee al end of stri its powers, which has been rogTess yours past, is to be continued. then. it would be ‘tter to complete the work at once by Its aboli- on.

It has never been even intimated that any dereliction of duty on the part of the fire board was the cause of this gradual contraction of its powers; in tact,we belleve it 1s Bea any conceded that the affairs of the department have been prudently and judiciously managed, us shown by the acknowl- d efliciency of the service. We do not wish to be understood as making any complaint against the present Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbta, or their predecessors in office, or as ques- tioning thelr legal right to make such changes a8 they deem proper in the administration of the af- fairs of the fire department, but merely state the facts, as necessary to a proper understanding of the subject. We are of the opinion that a board com ot reputable citizens, with proper control of the de- talls of management of the fire department, the fire alarm service, the fire plugs, the sale and stor- age Of inflammable material and all other matters pertaining to the prevention and extinguishment of fires, would conduce toa harmonious and uni form administration:of such affairs, which would be a help to you and an udditional safeguard to the communit; ut If such control is to be scat- tered around among a half dozen officials, with clashing intere=ts and no concert of action, then a fire bourd 43 in our opinion # useless appeniage of the District government, Should you decide to abolish the board it will be necessury to make Some provision ior the trial of members of the fire department charged with violations of the regula~ tons, now devolved by law upon this board. ‘That, however, Iga mutter on Which the law officers of the District can better advise you than we can. Tn conclusion, we can honestly state that we have no personal feeling in the matter, and Af itis decided that Unis board @hail cease to éxist on the 80th insti, we will be prepated to turn over its affairs to ur legal successors—a new fire board,or such other officers as may be designated by you— and wili cheerfully render to you or them any as- sistance in our power, as private citizens, promote the usefulness ani well-being of. tue fire de- partment ‘und its meinbers, with whom we have en for 80 long a time officially connected.
