Sir: I find through the press that the minister of finance has, by an order dated the 27th of last month, given notice to customs officers and those interested in the business that American pork packed in hermetically sealed cans must, to be admitted, be accompanied by the certificate of inspection, etc., required in case of pork generally. And this although the pork in the food article referred to in the notice, and which is called brawn, is cooked meat.

I have, etc.,

Theodore Runyon
