The market has been goversupplied this
week, and prices are 9Rtc lower. The
greater decline was on the medium and
lower grades, which constitute much the
larger number oil receipts. Tops were
rathOr SCARCE, but there was quite suttict-
ent for the demand, which was rather
limited, for though there was full num-
Der of home and country buyers, butch
ers and Eastern spectators, the market
was dull throughout for all grades-some
200 head were left over, and the balance

STEEP AND LAMBs.-There has been
quite large increase in the receipts this
week, but greater number go East with
out being offered here, and more were
shipped by Eastern spectators than last

(which ia the eheapest to use-browr

(Which is the cheapest to use-brown
sugar or white?" asked of the chemist.
'Why, white, sir. Brown sugar is sim
ply pure sugar with dirt and water in it.
The cheapest sugar to buy is white, granu-
lated sugar. 1t is simply 991s per cent.
pure sugar, while brown sugar is only
about 20 per cent sugar, 90 per cent. wa
ter, and 10 per cent dirt and salts. White
refined soft sugar is 90 per cent sugar. l
know some old women brought up on
brown sugar still stick to brown sugar,
and call it sweeter than white sugar, but
they simply dupe themselves. If you
want brown sugar, you can take pound
of white sugar, pour in some water, a
handful of sewer dirt, lime or salt, and
you'll have two pounds of it.'
How many kinds of crude sugar are
there?'
"Three-cane sugar, fruit sugar and
milk sugar. Cane sugar is found in sugar
cane, Indian corn stalks, sorghum, beets,
melons, sweet potatoes, cocoanuts, chest
nuts, palm trees, birch trees and sugar ma
pie. Cane sugar is three times as sweet
as milk or fruit sugar. Syrup contains a
good deal of fruit sugar, generated by
fermentation, etc. Therefore syrup is not
SO sweet as pure sugar dissolved in water.
Beet sugar smells badly, and sorghum
has too much acidity. They both contain
salt, to remove which is very expensive.
They are things of the past when sugar
cane can be had reasonable and in suffic-
lent quantities. In Europe brown sugar
is not used; white is considered cheaper
and better.-E2i PERKINS, IN Daily Graphic.
