In response to complaints made by Walter Carr
& Co, q. = Hart 81 Co., Mckenzie, Newman IL Co..
\. ID. Hare & Co., and maay Other receivers and
exporters OF butter, upon the Produce Exchange,
that they are now obtaining very imperfect stats
ties as TO the quantity OF butter that IS
much oleomargarine is cleared as butter
f. II. Parker, president OF the Exchange, Yesterday
addressed letter 10 Secretary Sherman request <
that necessary instructions be gwen to the United
states Clearing Department to have oleomargarinc
distinguished from butter III the cearances.
Interviews with the leading butter firms show the
general opinion be that IL Is not only important 10
the trade that butter and its substitute should be
classified under their distinctive heads, but that It
IS equally important in making mp the gem
eTa statistics of commerce. IL was SAID that
to class Oleomargarine III the exports was Il
fraud perpetrated upon every American cltllen VINO
expect, to get correct IniOImItlOn from The Gov
efimcnt statistics, and with the same propriey all
gram might be classed under the mead OF wheat or
all OIL a. petroleum. The report of exports of but
ter from June to Septemberl, 1850, is II ,Si4 601
pounds, against S,759,SS4 pounds for tue same
period IN 1879 ana 9,Sl7 ,6O1 pounds for the same
time in 1875. he trade unable 10 aSccr-
tam what proportion of this is oleonargarInc but
the dealers are convinced that the oeunargarne
manufacturers are working night ana day ana sell
ing the substitute very largely to the home, out of
town and export trade, ana that the law requiring
tie packages to be branded and shipped as - OlcO-
margarine " is not complied with. Ii IS believed
thar of the adulteratsd butter exported not tub
out of Il thousand goes out under tho brand OF
" oleomargarne," OF Is cleared as such.
