. rriday the Thirteenth U Xriteky,
Today la Friday and ths llth day of
tha month. To tha consumer It la a
hi oat lucky day and perhaps to tha pro-
due It may ba conaldarad likewise after
full examination of condition To
tha conaumer It means, a decline of 10c
per square In the price of creamery
butter, but to the producer It means
that much less for Ms cream. All city
eamerles are down Bo a pound or 10c
square for their various products this
morning. Late yesterday it became ap
parent to all tnat prices could not oe
maintained until Monday morning, be
cause everyone waa expecting a aharp
cut In values. ' Consumers have been
buying butter aparlngly for several
nays in anticipation 01 saving ivo a
square within the week. This forced
the retailers to buy smaller supplies
man usual, ana creamery men, wun
their larger, output, found a decline the
only practical solution of a market that
waa about to become clogged with too
much butter. Late yesterday one elty
creamery cut its price loo a square;
this being followed a half-hour la tar
hy another city Institution. Thla morn
ing there waa a general drop among the
other creameries each accusing the
other of secretly cutting values, con
trary to the rules made and provided,
tc, etc.
California Butter the Cause.
The cause of all this commotion
among the makers of butter and the
consumer has been the shipping or lib
eral supplies of California butter Into
this market In recent days. Creamery
men here realized that It would not pay
them to allow the Callfornlana to se
cure a foothold here even during the
flush of the southern season.
They all realized that they must keep
tne callrornlans out. but none or mem
wanted to cut our own 'butter price at
this time, because at the moment there
was a demand for all they manufac
tured, even though the price was 10c
a pound above that ruling In the south
ern markets. However, several hand
lers began to bring In stocks from the
south, and for this product lower prices
were quoim. in time mm naa a weaa-
nlng effect upon local conditions, and
today's sharp decline which has been
predicted by The Journal waa forced
upon the unwilling makers.
Outside Creamery Anticipates Move.
One outside creamery with Its ear to
the ground anticipated the decline of to
day oy cutting the prloe on Its product
do a square a rew dy"ago. The mak
ers found their product selling slower,
with Indications of a general glut If
rices were, maintained? At the record
reakipg valuesWhlch have ruled here
for so long thin would Involve a heavy
loss upon makers If they were forced to
sen at a lower price arter paying rec
ord figures for cream. All outside
creameries followed tha move , of the
City creameries today.

e general season for storage is about
tJ open, as tha price Is getting clone to
a storing basis. Today s price on the
street ranges rrom 1 to llc with
most of the sales at the higher figure.
Demand for eggs Is Increasing at the
lower figurea, lor consumption Is much
greater. ' It Is not believed that storsge
operations will become extensive Just
now because everyone Is awaiting a
lower market. Most of the storers lost
money on last season's Input and are
very cautious this year. The same con-
eutlona exist In the eaat.
i Brief Votes of the Trade.
Chickens are higher because of the
sjmall arrivals and the very liberal de
mand. Geese are not wanted.
i Pressed meats maintain the former
high level of values with receipts light.
Fish of all varieties are quite plenti
ful in the market at this time. Hand
lers say they will have a sufficient
mount of frosh salmon to run their
trade for a week after the close of the
season.
Potatoes continue to show a good
movement around 45 and COo for ship
ping stock.

Olympla, Wash., March 13. As th
result of on agreement entered Into hy
the Northern Express company offl
clals and the railroad commission at
hearing here, express rates affectln
420 stations In Washington have bee
reduced cn frulra and vegetables from
25 to 41 per cent. This applies to all
rates on such commodities except the
Puyallup base rate cn berries, which
has been restored to the charge in
effect at the beainnlna of last year.
The Puyallup rate affects about 400
erowers of berries belonains: to th
Puyallup and Summer Fruit Growers'
association. For 16 years the growers
or the fuyauup valley had Det-u snip
ping nerries on a rate oasea on
weight of 25 pounds to the crate. A
tlie beginning: of last season, to compl
with the regulations of the Interstate
commerce commission requiring ex
preset shipments to be charged at
actual weight, the weight base was
raised by the express companies to I
pounds per crate. The growers admit
that this Is approximately tne true
wele-ht ef a crate of berries but com
plained to the commission that the
charae should have been reduced ac
cordfngly. The reduction of the charge
has been effected.
Northern Express . rates varied be
tween the same stations. In many In
stances the rats eastbound belni
higher than the Tate westbound, or vice
versa. All rates nerearter win ie uni
form arolne- either direction. For In
stance, the rate from Spokane to Seat
tle naa been 12 oer nunarea ana rrom
Seattle to Spokane 21.76. The rate
going either way between the two
places will hereafter be 2140. The
hearing applied only to the Northern
express company, but the 01 ner com.
panics will be forced to meet the
rew rates.

Philadelphia, March 11. If William t
fiauer, a grape grower and wlnemaker, . .
bf Vineland, continues to drink. It will
cost him 33 a weeK. in aaaitlon to too
value of what he drinks; If he becomes 1
a total abstainer, he may keep the
money and enjoy the society of his .
wife. This decision waa filed in the
Camden court oi chancery in the suit
for alimony brought by Mrs. Barbara .
Bauer against her husband.
Vice Chancellor Learning in his de-
clslon says:
"There Is no doubt In my mind that -1
the primary cause of tbe trouble be- ' .
tween these parties is the Intoxication :
of the defendant
'1 hold that a wife is not obliged te
live with a husband who does not pre
serve for himself the scenes which Ood ,
has given him, bat destroys his own
faculties and renders himself a bnita
by the use of intoxicants. The husband
Is entitled to a wife's society, 'her com-
fort and services, and the. wife le en- ,
titled to the same upon the part of the
husband in his normal condition; . and
the duties which she ewes to her hus-
band are duties owing to a sober man..
It is not the purpose or alimony to -
enable a wife to live away from a hus- v
band at his expense, and enjoy herself .
In her own way upon the luxuries
bought by his money. It is not the
purpose of alimony to make separations
attractive. The purpose of alimony la . ,
to contribute to the needs of a wife.' ;..
when the husband is in fault and not la
a way to render It deslrsble upon the
oart of a wife to avoid In the future .
appropriate efforts of reconciliation.
rIf Mr. Sauer will quit drinking, will .v
leave his wine and other Intoxicant :.
alone, I am satisfied it will operate to '
transform his nature to such an extent
that he can and will become a good hus- ,
band." '
