OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH, I
FRIDAY. December s. 1890. !

Government detectives are causing consider
able uneasiness TO violators of law against oleo.
Within few days about 100 tubs IN the hands
of dealers here have been condemned The
penalty is 500 for each tub. and the way of the
transgressor of law is becoming hard. The in
creased risk in selling oleo has stimulated mar
kets for country butter within the past few
days. In addition to the dread OF Government
detecti yes comes the difficulty of collecting, as
the seller of contraband goods dares not go
into courts for redress if the buyer refuses to
pay. Fresh eggs are very scarce. but are not
so high here as in the East. Jobbing price in
New York is 32c per Dozen. The temptation to
sell cold storage eggs for strictly fresh proves
of late too strong for average human nature.
1t has occurred of late that peddlers with an
eye TO the main chance have shipped cold
storage eggs from here to Wheeling, and have
them brought back to the city on boats to be
sold as fresh Ohio Valley eggs. In the language
of inspiration: These things ought not SO to
be-"
