ties is amply shown In the late prosecu

"While no arrests 'are being made here
and therefore bo convictions, the offi
cials are busy elsewhere. Cincinnati,
Ohio, advices report that pure food law
agents had swooped down on a big con
signment of peas received a few days
mni ontlrn ouantitv on hand. 65

Sanderson. The peas bear the brand of

dlanopolis, certifying them to be "stand
ard sifted, early June peas, net weight
Si ounces to the caa. There are 28.875
cans in the lot eeiad. The government
. Inspectors claim there has been mis
branding and that all the cans, in fact,
weigh less tha 22 ounces net. Distrlot
Attorney McPhersoh has filed suit to
forfeit the peas to the government ac
cording to the pure food law. Samples
were taken for use in the trial. Special
Agent Ford of the pure food bureau is
urging on the ease for the government
It is said similar seizures are to be
made In Kentucky also. - '
Dutch Java Xfot Beal Thing.
Rteohen P. Stone,. United States mar
shal at Pittsburg, has in his custody in
tha warehouses 800 cases of coffee sub
ject to confiscation by the government.
The coffee was seized
on a warrant is
sued by John W. Dunkle, United States
district attorney, una is alleged to be
mlBbranded in violation or the rood ana
drugs act. This is the second seizure
of misbranded coffee in Pittsburg by
the government. About a month ago a
large shipment was seized labeled
"Dutch Java." The government ex
perts analyzed tho corree and assert
that the percentage cf Java in the mix
ture was so small that under the law it
could not be branded. The firm was
notified and the seizure followed. The
1 manufacturers put up a bond for the
- coffee and shipped it back. The present
seizure was made for "similar reasons.
. i The brand is said, by the food experts
. of Uncle Sam to be misleading and a
violation of the law. Coffee so branded
is being seized wherever found, and un
less the manufacturers come forward
with a bond it will be confiscated and
destroyed. The firm making the "Dutch
Moka.'-' it is said, claims the brand Is
not a violation as they did not call it
" Mocha,'- which is the name of the cof-
lee of high quality. But the federal ex
perts claim the word Moka is merely a
subterfuge and is misleading the pub
lic. Egg area Liable to Get Caught.
That 'there , will be prosecutions of
Pacific coast peoeple who persist in
selling eastern eggs under the term
"fresh" stock is now assured. The sell
ing of eastern goods as local fresh has
been carried on in some quarters for
years and ' on this account the public
has been hoodwinked. At this time
there are various grades of eastern eggs
in the market and some grades are giv
ing entire satisfaction at low prices.
The local egg market Is firmer for
strictly fresh ranch stock with sales at
both 37 H 40c a dozen. Both prices are
ruling today but the market is in bet
ter shape than yesterday. Only the
most select quality will bring the high
er figure.
Chicken Market Zs Broken.
Those who 'have been carrying over a
large surplus of chickens during the
past week have decided to clean up and
for that reason cut values to a point.
where they really moved. Cleanups are
reported around 11c a pound, although
, some extra select coops of hens sold in
nominal way as high as 12c a pound.
. The present indications are that there
. will be liberal supplies of dressed geese
for Thnnkurlvina. For a limited amount
there is expected to be a good demand
around 134) He for select dressed stock,
if very fat, but heavy arrivals would
cause a decline.
Brief Botes of Troat street.
uressea goats coming to JTont street
are hard to move even when disguised
as mutton.
Pour cars of bananas arrived in this
. morning. Most of them green but in
" good condition.
Grapes are still hard to move.
A decline is again shown in the price
,f fresh halibut.
Onions are showing poor keeping
quality and are therefore not moving
very fast, some selling at lower prices.
Offerings of potatoes are much more
freer by growers and even former pur
. chasers are now selling at less than
they bought at.
While cranberries are firmer here as
: . , a result of the eastern advance, no
change is today noted in local prices.

Chicago, Nov. 21. Wheat opened un
changed to a shade higher here al
though the foreign markets were gen
erally depressed. After the opening the
disposition of the trade was to sell but
the offers were generally taken up at
a fractional decline In values. For the
day wheat shows a loss of to .c
with the weakness greatest in the May.
There is much speculation among the
trade regarding the exact standing of
the crop, in Argentina. On this point
the opinion of the trade Is equally di
vided and this is what caused today in
tense dullness. Some profess to believe
that the damage Is greater than report
ed while the- other side is equally posi
tive that rirst reports or damage are
always overestimated and this instance
is In no wise different from others.
