Small trading In wheat. - Kaw Baling on Batter. .Perhaps, you've noticed that your fancy creamers butter does not have the fine appearance an 1 color of former days. There has been a decided change in the color, and the uresent stuck U considerably lighter than formerly. This is not due to any cheapening in the quality of the product, but to a change reforming the manufacture or Duiier, tnd under the Dure foods law hai stopped the former methods. Previous ly It was the custom of butter makers everywhere to use, coloring manufac tured from coal tars. This is now pro hibited, although butter makers agree mat no harm wnatever uas resuueu from Its use as a colorer. The govern ment now insists udod the creamery men using a pure vtfetable coloring which gives the product an appearance that somewnat resembles me poorer grades when the Utter used the coal tar coloring. Seme of the creameries are still ui ni the coal tar because the gov ernment allows them a certain time to use up their present supplies before buying the new article. The new article has no effect whatever uporf the taste Di the manufactured product. Walt tmtll Maros. IS. Although all creamery butter makers re of the opinion thai the local butter market should be lower because of the sharply rut figures In the south, it Is not believed tnat any action on me matter will be taken until next Monday morning. Most of the creamerymen pay semi-monthly for their creum, and to change the quotation a. this time would force uuon tlietn a largo amount of bookkeeping. All are of tne opinion that the market will drop at least 2 He a pound next Monday, but some say a still larger cut In advlsab'e. In the mean time California butttr Is coming to this market in larger supply, and is being sold at relatively lower figures. Force Eggs tower Again. Eggs have been forced down another notch along1 Front street today. SuleJ are being . marie between J7 and 1! Vic, with uulte u bunch coin at the low figure. Single rases have bean sold during the past 24 hours at the hlghe figure, so those who buy In large lot are easily able to obtain the lower range. Therefore this is tho price generally listed. So few chickens are being received that quotations as printed are nominal. A few geese are coming to market, but there is an entire absence of demand for them at thl time. . All Dressed Meats Are firm. All lines of dressed meats are show Ing considerable firmness In the I ron street market at this time. Receipt are tapering off aealn, while the de mand Is heavy. AH prices are Dln held closer to the too for that reason. - Cheese market - is somewhat firmer.

Wheat market shows a small amoun of business between millers. Price noin Inally unchanged. No export flour trade reported. Several cars of oranges were due from the south, relieving the threatened famine.

LARGE EGGS ALWAYS LOWEST AT ADVANCE A That It pays (o select your laying hens Is amply shown on numerous occasions In the egg market." Big white eggs always command a premium ' over the .small dark ones because even at the higher price the large eggs are the b,est and cheapest to. buy. It has been ascertained that a case of ordinarily packed ' choice eggs we:ghs 60 pounds, while the ordinary run of ' mixed white and dark eggs weighs 66 pounds. The or dinary riin of ? egga weighs, ltt ,v pounds , to the dosen, so a' case of the .large ones reariy meats over 2 M dozen'more than the ordinary run; 'At least4 thiat Is what the ' larger ones would outweigh the smaller ones.

They admitted that one of them fired two shots with a .22-callber revol ver, but said the gun was loaded with blank cartridges ana the whole nffalr was only a joke to scare the little girls, nllh whom they were acquainted. One of the bovs wore tx handkerchief over Mis face and as the girls ap proached' they called out, "You can't pass here unless you pay us 2 cents." One shot was fired, the glrla ran. and another shot increased their fright and fhelr speed. One of the girls has since been ill from her terror.
