.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.
Inquiries from, local Jobbers aand retail
ers are better, and some are now coming
from the northern cities. No saes 1
the latter direction as yet. because o
the low price offered. Price here un
changed.
Brief Votes of the Trad.
Run of smelt in the Lewis river con
tlnues heavy. Same old price.
Salmon run is good. Present season
Will end the first of the week. There
. fore the Dresent stiff values.
Egrxp'ant from Florida Is arriving,
and finds a sale at 20c a pound.
, Mexican tomatoes are in much larger
supply with the prl j not so high to
day. Ranee between 12.60 and S3, al
though few sale are made at the latter
figure.
But little trading Is reported In the
local hoD market at the moment.
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.
Potato movement to southern Call
fornia and Arizona remains quite fair,
with purchases hers at country ship

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,

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

"The quietness which has prevailed

ined to small lots to fill immediate

low grudes can be bought at under 4c,
but not much Interest is taken In such

again after the activity of last week,
and the market Is dragging. Washing
ton reports stagnant markets. In Now

done, and that little Is confined to the
best growths left. It is understood that
some poor crops can be bought at 8c

LITTLE GIRL IS
III FWfSIGHI
Youthful Highwaymen Say
They Were Only Playing
at Footpad Game.
Two boys, 10 and 11 years of age.
yesterday afternoon told Judge Ganten
beln in tho Juvenile court that they
were only playing highwaymen when
they held up the Lewis sisters, 6 and 8
years of age. In Lents one night last
week. 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. They had
recognized the boys, who are named
Splro and Odell, and their mother made
complaint to the Juvenile court last
Saturday.
: Judge Gantenheln dismissed the case
akalnst the boys with a warning that j

Supt. Monteith.
Emil T. Mische, the new park super
intendent, has arrived In Portland, and
at a special meeting of the city park
board tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
hie appointment will be authorised. This
means that Superintendent Monteith
Will be let out.
Just what provision the psrk board
can make for Monteith cannot be fig
ured out. It Is the desire of the board
to hold him for a month or so to give
him time In which to find new employ
ment, but whether this can be done is
debatable. There la no charter pro
vtainn which allows the board to id-
point Monteith to any other position in
the department, and If he is held for a
month he will have to take his salary
out of the salary of tne new suponn
tendent.
Montslth's salary ha been $110 a
month, and Mische will receive $201 a
month, if Monteith stay at the re
quest of the board ror anotner montn,
ho win hav to h naM out of the new
suoerlntendent'a salary, because the
rnnnrll hlkm no t the nower to appropri
ate money for two superintendents, and
If Monteith remains ne win nave 10 re
main as a superintendent.
