cereals there movement that reflected the influence
Of surrounding conditions The foreign markets were
reported bc dull and easier but on the other hand the
receipts Of wheat the West and at the Atlantic sea
ports were much smaller than yesterday. Cash wheat
however, was decidedly weak and the demand Tor ex-
port was confined to moderate limits Cash corn held lis
own very well and. in fact the weakness of the wheat
spccuation seemed t. be- the result OF general
disposition to produce lower prices than OF any real
reason for decline There are not few operators VINO

from his first visit to Italy including 1.-The Bride OF

characterized by two qualities which insured
their success-thc intensity OF their passion

y band OF confidence operators has
been lot loose in this vicinity 10 prey
upon and annoy our hCuseEoepGrs.
lhe band is composed OF wCaen, a.
though employed and dlregjed by an
agent of tho other sex, and their method
OF procedure, as eXpl lined by several
ladl,a who hsVe been yictimi2ed, is as
follows: Obtaining access to the
Kitchen, they introduce the subject of
Jakiug powders, inquiring the kind
used in the Aamily. B2ing shown the
can, perhaps a fresh, full one, they
volunteer to "test" il TO asCeI-
| { 4in it's qualities. Their "teat" cau-
siata in placing the can on hot stove
or over q lamp or gse jet, or in mixing
the baking powder with water, both hot
and cold. i the baking powder is
.ood for anything the heat will, OF
course, eXpeI the gas, which, being
dnmoniacal or carbonic, IL apparent
then made that this oder Indicates
matter OF fact, baking powder that
would give OF no gas whom subjected
to hest, would be without leayening
power ana value!ess. They will also
mix the baking powder giycn them
with water, II pure 81 eifer
Vesces quickly. TIE baking powder
they psddle being similerly mixed,
foams up slowly. This theY claim as
evidenc of superiority, whereas it is
the exhibition of trick Only, as this
effect is caused by the presence Of
hpur in the baking powder they ere
pedd,ing, or course tho object of
these fraudulent tricks is to destroy
confidence in all other kinds OF baking
aud ~ tff,1tl II y
brand for which the women are travel
ing.
Were this the whole of the operation
house-keeDers would not often be de-
c9ived. Every Intelligent person
knows that baking powder not mRd9
to be used in this way, but ia cooking
where its action is entirely different
from that produced by dry heat or
by mixture WITH water alone. The
chief object OF this jugglery is to de@
troy the baking powder given for test
ing; or by heating it 10 drive of its
leavenins gases. and so weaken Ii that
when used it will fail to work. AT the
aext baking there is heavy food, Of
tho credit of having told tho house
keeper valuable fact, inste9} OF hav-
ing spoiled her baking puwUor, as vas
actually the case. The average "tramp'
VIII, in this way, destroy from so 10 IS
pounds of baking powder per day.
A second methoh OF spoiiing for use
the baking powder in a kitchen where
they are not permitted to experiment
with IL, is by dextarously throwing iu
the can smsllquan5y of salt, soda or
pow dered lime. Again, should there
to be no baking powder in the
house, the operators will produce, of
the kind used by tho family, sample
that has been purposely sdulterated or
to make such an exhibit 90
they desire under the so-called test.
The only way to protect our food
