IN England
The secretary Of agriculture has re.
ceired complete reports from the third
experimental shipment Of butter to
London by his department. The ship
ment consisted OF a lot of Minnesots
creamery butter IN 56-pound boxes ard
tiibs. and a lot of Massachusetts, cream
cry butter in small tubs, family pack
ages, and fancy prints The export was
made in june. It cost az cents a pound

all placed by the departments agent in
London in the hands of retail dealers.
They paid from Is to 1917 cents per
pound forit, the same butter being then
worth Is cents in New York. The
wholesale price of Danish butter was
about 20 cents in London at that time.
It was retailed to consumers at "a, rs
and &c cents per pound-most of it az
% cents. This was the same as the re-
tail price of the best Danish, which
leads the London market for salted but
ter. The retailers, upon being con-
WINGED OF the high quality of the Ameri-
a butter, paid the same price for it

or cubical box. Six different dealers
took the Minnesota butter, at a uniform
price of is Is cents per pound. It cost
about 16 cents, delivered to those Lon
den dealers. The Massachusetts, butt
ter was of equal quality, and, although
some of it sold to dealers at 1871 cents,
The small packages were not liked by
the trade. This butter was worth 20
cents for local sale in the neighbor-
hood where made. Thus, as in other
cases, the western creamery butter was
sold at a fair profit, ove two cents per
pound, while the New England creanl-
cry butter was sold in London at less
than it would have brought at home.
The London retailers margin for profit

WHEEL GEARED AT ESQ
NEW BICYCLE THAT is EXPECTED
TO PERFORM WONDERS.
Invention of a Brooklyn Lawyer That
Down to a Mile a Minute.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a mechanical sur
prise will be sprung in all probability on the
cycling world within a few days and all
records for speed will go by the board If
the present prospects Of the new machines
capacity are realized. A well-known Brook
lyn lawyer has invented a bicycle with a
present gear of 25Q, and he is confident that
he will see q mile close to the minute mark.
Albert Schock, the well-known six-day
champion, is the only rider of prominence
who has seen the new bicycle, and is the
only one outside of the inventor who has
ridden it.
Mr.. Schock, who is a conservative man,
said: Il have every belief in the new wheel
and really expect that it viii revolutionize
the present bicycle. 1t is mechanically cor
rect and with a few minor alterations as
to weight and gear 1 believe the wheel will
prove satisfactory. I was very busy in my
store one day when man walked in and
introduced himself, stating that he had
heard of my ability as a rider and wanted
me to look at new wheel that he had in
vented. He took me to his office ana there
showed me what consider will prove to be
the speedieSt bicycle that ever has been IN
vented Its present gear is 2oo put l al
vised $50 to rs, although l did not seem TO
have much more work propelling the 2oO-
gear than / did my ninety six-day gear
The speed that you get out OF the new ol-
cycle is simply terrific.
1.-The inventor is q rather small sized man,
and ne tells me that he rode a half mile in
forty three seconds, and in trial l made
on the bicycle path the other night must
have been travelling close to the minute
mark The only difficulty | experienced was
in turning, and / think the very high gear
is responsible for that. / had a private trial
at Manhattan Beach at midnight Tuesday,
and / am not at liberty to say what time
/ made, but if / use the machine in the
81 600 handicap Saturday and Monday / will
win the race might say that had trouble
at the turns owing to the hisn rate of speed
attained in the straight, but with lower
gear that the inventor now is trying to get
| think it will be quite possible to do 1:SO
without pace"
The question whether Mr.. Schock will be
allowed to use the machine in racing was
referred to A. G. Batchelder, the handicap
per- and he stated that in the general rules
of the l.. A. w. racing board clause K
covers that point. 1t is as follows
1.-The board reserves the right to exclude
from the racing path any and all machines
which, in it's Judgment, do not come within
the commonly accepted meaning of the
term bicycle, either by popularity of con-
struction or by undoubted mechanical adj
vantages which they may possess"
The new wheel undoubtedly possesses
mechanical advantages, so it is a question
whether the referee, Mr.. Mott, will allow
Schock to start in the 1000 handicap on the
new machine Saturday.
