The report from London that the
bank Of England would now keep one
fifth Of its reserve ia silver and that the
India minis would again be opened up
to free coinage CT silver is in one sense
premature and 10 another unnecessary
1t is not known what action the English
government will take 10 regard to
the mlnts of India and as for the Bank
OF England it has had the privilege ever
since the bank act of 1874 of keeping
one-tifth Of its reserve in silver and in
1881 put it in active operation and has
stood ready ever since to exchange silver
and gold to that extent whenever the
leading nations will establish al inter-
national ratio of exchange. There is
nothing new in the proposition, and the
putting OF it into effect all depends on
the government of England and other
nations establishing an international
ratio. If this is about to be consumated,
then there is q living hope for silver.

OUR BUTTER IN LONDON.
eecretary Wilson Has Received Returns
From His Third Shipment.


WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The secre.
tary of agriculture has received com.
plete reports from the third expert.
mental shipment Of butter to London
by his department. This consisted of a
lot Of Minnesota creamery butter in
56.pound boxes and tubs, and a lot of
Massachusetts creamery butter in small
tubs, family packages and small prints.
The export was made in June. It cost
21a cents a pound to carry the butter
from Central Minnesota to London by
the single ton, with the best refriger.
ator accommodations all the way, ex-
cepting short transfers. The transport.
alton from Western Massachusetts cost
rather more, because of the absence Of a
refrigerator line to New York, and the
necessity Of paying expressage.
Brought Good Prices.
This butter was all placed by the de.
partmeHt agent III London ia the
hands Of retail dealers. They paid from
10 70 1919 cents per pound for it, 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. 1t was all re.
tailed to consumers at a, p and 26
cents per pound, most Of it at 20 cents.
This was the anne as the retail price Of
the best Danish, which leads the Lon.
don market for sailed butter.
The retailers upon being convinced of
the high quality Of this states butter
paid the same price for it in tubs and in
Six different dealers took the Minnesota
butter at a uniform price Of IS l-5
cents per pound. 1t cost abous l6 cents,
delivered to these London dealers.
Retailers Profit Too Great.
The Massachusetts butter was Of
equal quality, and although some of it
sold to dealers at 1873, the small pack.
ages were not liked by the trade. This
butter was worth 20 cents for local sale
in the neighborhood where made.
Thus, as in other cases, the Western
creamery butter was sold at a fair profit
over 2 cents per pound, while the New
England creamery butter was sold in
London at less than it would have
brought at home.
The London retailers margin for
proit-6R to 10 centS~ and about Z
cents on an average-was too great.
The consumer paid twice as much for
the Minnesota butter as the creamery
in the state received for it, and of what
the butter cost the consumer, the farmer
who supplied the cream got less than
tWO.ffths.

Looks Like Mrs. Leutgert.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia woman, de-
mented and almost nude, was found in
the woods near Melrose Park by some
farmers. The woman was in a terrible
condition from exposure and privation,
having been living in the woods for at
least a month. Her description is said
to tally in many respects with that OF
the missing Mrs. Luetgert. Beyond
sending out q full description of Mrs.
Luetgert, the Chicago authorities have
taken no action in the matter, as they
do not believe the woman is Luetgert's
wife.
