NEW YORK, July S.-Profit-taking was
the order of the day in the stock market.
The sending of the tariff bill to conference
ended the senate stage Of the bill, the ter
mination Of which has formed subject for
speculation in the recent market. The ter
mination is regarded as a favorable influence
on values; but, having been previously dis
counted, realizing sales were to be looked
for in the natural order of things The re-
action did not develop Immediately at the
opening, owing to several sustaining inf1u-
ences. The sugar refining industrys special
interest in the tariff bill made that stock
sensitive to Washington reports as to the
chances of the sugar schedule in the con-
ference. These reports varied all day. as "a
matter of course but carried Sugar up at
the opening. The grangers and international
stocks also opened with an upward tendency
The former group enjoyed an impetus also
from the announcement by the refunding
committee Of the Chicago & Northwestern
that the directors of that company had au-
thorzed mortgage for $165, 000, 000 to run

The realizing was based both on the pass

MINNESOTA BUTTER WINS.
FINER Than Any Other offered in the
London Market.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Finding it
difficult to get an unprecedented and
definite comparison made in London
between butter sent there by the Unite
ed States department of agriculture,
and the best products of other cOun-
tries, Secretary Wilson directed his
agent at London to buy there repre-,
sentative packages of fine butter from
various sources and send them in cold
storage to New York. This was re-
Gently done, and the foreign lot in
Guided sample casks Of the best Eng

butter, and boxes from Australian and
Irish creameries, as we'll as rolls of
Sweet" or unsalted butter, such as
is sent daily from Brittany and sells
at the highest price in the London
market.
These foreign buffers have been
critically examined by the leading but
ter merchants of New York, and COM
pared with packages reserved from a
lot lately sent abroad by the depart
ment. made at creameries in Minnesota
and Massachusetts. Excepting the
Australian, these buffers were all
about the same age. The Danish,
which ranks first in the sailed butter
supply of the English markets, was a
little newer and fresher than the Min
nesota package. The samples were
scored by Butter Inspector Healy, Of
the New York merchandise exchange,
and Secretary Wilson has received his
report. On scale of 100 pounds, the
Minnesota creamery butter was mark
ed 961h, the royal Danish" 95 and the
Massachusetts butter "a. The last was
a very small package, had been kept
three weeks, and had lost flavor, al
though evidently very fine article
when fresh The fresh Britanny rolls
were also placed atN 961a, the other
samples were marked 80, and below.
The only ones markets perfect in grain,
texture or body" were those from
Minnesota, Denmark and Britanny.
Minnesota and Britanny (unsalted)
were both placed at Ss1A, out of a pos
sible 40 for flavor. with Massachusetts
and Denmark following at 35 and none
other above 81.
