Eject of the Low Price of the Metal
Business-The Republics Finances.
Cry OF MEXICO, Feb. 16--One of thu
most prominent officials here, who is
authorized to speak in the name of the
government, says concerning the fnan-
cial situation:
"The bad business from which the
country has been suffering is disappear
ing, notwithstanding the exceptionally
low price of silver, which is unfavorable
to business. Expectations of bullion
have fortunately diminished, and the
banks, not being obliged to hoard, have
commenced renewing credits to mer-
chants. The consequences of the drouth
which prevailed in a few of the states
did not have as serious an effect on the
federal revenues as was feared. With
good management the coming year will
be as productive as the last. The GUS
toms receipts, the principal source of
revenue, have not suffered in the degree
that was feared from the change in tariff
rates in November last. The merchan-
disc imported previous to November is
already nearly exhausted Therefore,
the government safely calculates on ac-
quiring the funds necessary to cover the
expenses of the present year without
fear of deficit"

"oLeoD FED TO STATESMEN.

Served as Dairy Butter In the Hotels at
the Capital-How the Law is Violated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Rural readers
Of these dispatches will be interested in
learning that the internal revenue au-
thorities here have discovered that but
terine, or Cleomargarine, is sold in the
leading market stalls of Washington as
pure dairy butter, and that it is served
as such at the principal hotels, and there
appears to be no law to punish the
offense.
The oleomargarine is sold from the
original casks, tubs and firkins, which
are properly branded as required by law,
but the firkins, casks or tubs are never
seen except by the dealers; SO oleomar-
garine is taken from the original pack
ages and displayed on the counters with
pure butter, and where no mention Is
made of oleomargarine by the pur-
chaser none is made by the dealer, and
thus no misrepresentation is made, al
though the purchaser believes he buys
pure butter, when he gets oleomargarine
four times out of five. Congress will be
asked to amend the law SO as to require
dealers to brand every piece of oleo-
margarine, in the roll or bulk, as it goes
into the hands of the purchaser, so as to
plainly show what it is, and no place
will be left for fraud.
The present law is broad enough if
enforced rigidly 1t directs that all
oleomargarine, when sold, whether in
firkins or rolls, must be stamped az
such, the penalty for disregarding this
act being fine Of $l00, one-half Of the
amount to go to the informer. The
greatest harm done the legitimate deal
er by the sale of oleomargarine is
through the small grocery stores, which
sell the stuff to their customers as
butter. 1t is believed the oleomargarine
law is everywhere disregarded by the
retaiiors to large extent.

FUEL GAS SHUT OFF.
Consumers Mt Dayton, o., Must Go Bach
to Wood and Coal.

TO WOou anu GOhl.
DAYTON, Feb. 16.-Natural gas was
entirely shut off from the city shortly
after O'Clock Monday morning, because
of the refusal of the council to allow the
price to be increased 100 per cent. The
contract at ten cents per thousand cubic
feet has eighteen years to run.
The company has been fighting for
the advance for year past and the sup
ply has been SO unsatisfactory that gen.
eral belief prevailed that the pressure
was being manipulated. Latterly the
service has been nuisance, but hun
dreds of people held on hoping an ar
rangement would be reached, or at least
that even limited supply would be con-
tinued until nearer spring. However,,
the company gave public notice Satur-
day that the gas would be shut off from
Dayton.
The gas was shut off, and nine tenths
of those who have used no other fuel for
three years are already glad that the end
has come. Hundreds of small homes
are built for gas fuel only, and occu-
pants of that class of houses will suffer
the greatest Inconvenience. All will
manage to shift along until spring. In
the meantime the coal dealers viii reap
the harvest.
