Japan. Italy and Krunce. There are
no fiietiyies for making silk piece
goods in China, all the weaving bciutf
done by band. With the' exception of
pongees the products of I he Chinese
looms are not popular abroad, except
in oriental countries, Jieing too heavy,
although the patterns are wonderfully
beautiful and the colors exceedingly
rich.
The pongees are woven in the homes
of the peasants, and as they come
from many looms no two pieces are
ever exactly alike In weight, fineness,
color and texture. The shantungs
come from the Linlang district, and
Ihe naushul from the Nlghai district.
These pongees are made from the
wild silk of Manchuria, where the silk
worms are not cultivated and fed on
mulberry leaves as In the rest of
China but feed ut will on oak leaves.
In Ihe spring the eggs hatch on the
brunches of the oak trees and the co
coons are leathered about September.

Shark Salad Wins Favor. .
Shark meat Is delicate In llnvor and

are not salable. The home demon

changes of air pressure entailed by
diving and rapid climbing for any

Every working day cf the year
75,000,000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
-These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the U. S. Bureau cf
Markets report that on June 1, 1919,
there were 1,348,000,000 pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days' supply.
This meat is not artificially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist of
65 per cent (approximate) hams, bacon, etc.,
in process of curing. It takes 30 to 90
days in pickle or salt to complete the
process.

per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year,
per cent is lard. This is only four-fifths
of a pound per capita, and much of it will
have to go to supply European needs.
19
per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of
which is owned by the Government and
was intended chiefly for over-seas ship
ment. If this were ail diverted to domes
tic trade channels, it would be only
l!2 lbs. per capita a 3 days' supply.

From this it will be seen that' 'meats
in storage" represent merely un
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer a steady flow of finished
product.
