in philadelphia and PENNSYLVANIA. but

in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but
in almost every state in the Union.
Oleomargarine is a cheap substitute
for butter. 1t seems to be almost
impossible to trace this substitute af-
ter it leaves the factory If dealers
wish to sell it as butter, and the taste
is not much different. There are
stringent laws in Pennsylvania, as
there are elsewhere. Oleomargarine
must be properly placrded and labeled.
When it is not properly labeled there
is violation of the law. 1t must not be
colorcd artilicially to resemble butter.
But, unfortunately, there is consti-
tutional controversy regarding that
prohibition and a decision has not
been reached. Meanwhile artifically
colored oleomargarine takes the place
of butter, and with immense profits
both to the manufacturer and the
dealer.
The trouble in Pennsylvania is met
with almost everywhere else. The
Inquirer believes in the strongest laws
possible, and in the severest punish
ment of the violators of these laws.
The difficulty is to search out the
culprit. No better suggestion for
overcoming the frauds has been made
than that of Congressman Grout, who
wants to put ten per cent tax on
each pound of oleomargarine when it
is colored. 1t is not improbable that
the courts of Pennsylvania will de-
clare coloration, so long as it is not
injurious, to be lawful. The only
way to meet this coloration therefore,
is in the factory itself. Congress can
extend it's internal legislation TO oleo-
margarine, and can reach every pound
of it by putting an internal revenue
tax upon the stuff when it is made in
imitation of butter. The profit in
oleomargarine comes in cheating the
public. Remove this profit by tax
and the fraud ends.
We believe in this Grout bill. 1t
seems to be the only practical plan to
prevent wholesale frauds yet suggest
ed. State laws have had little effect,
and yet much can be done under eX-
listing conditions. The arrest of In
spector Lift will have good effect.
1t will open up the whole subject, at
least, and it will instigate inspectors
to do their full duty. Frauds must
stop, and fraudulent dealers must be
punished, and it is the duty of inspec.
tors to see to it that this work is car
ried on even to the smallest detail.

TRADE REVIEW.
The Point Is Expectations for The Coming Year
Iron and Steel Market Lower

In their weekly Review OF Trade"
K. 5. Dun K Co., says: Whether the
new year will surpass or keep pace with
the old is the question which gives es-
pccial interest to every weeks returns.
Comparing now with business by far the
largest and most prosperous ever known
year ago, more than 30 per cent.
larger than in January, 1893, which had
shown heavier business than in any year
preceding, it cannot be expected that
such gain will be repeated. But the
decrease OF 90 per cent. in payments
through clearing houses is wholly due
to great speculative activity at New
York last year, with sales OF I2,o3I,832
shares against 6,5I8,o2o to the same date
this year, for payments outside this city
have been 4.3 per cent greater than a
year ago, and greater than in the same
part OF any other month. This week
one contract of 10000 tons for a western
road and two for bridges requiring H.
900 tons, are the only large transactions
Tor plates at Pittsburg, going materially
below 225, and for bars at Philadelphia
below 2.2o, the price of the association.
Sheets are also lower Mt the East. but
81 higher at Pittsburg. Sales OF foun-
dry pig at reduced prices include two
Tor 10000 tons, and No. Lehigh is
quoted at 324, but Bcssemer and grey
forge at Pittsburg are held unchanged,
though without sales. The copper out
put OF this country in 1899 was 262, 200
tons greater by oI,ooo or 53H per cent
than in 1895, while the foreign product
last year. &c. tons, gained in the four
years only 5000 tons. The market for
breadstuffs is not active, nor have
changes in prices of elevator wheat been
OF any consequence, but the active May
option shows a sharp decline. Atlantic
exports continue far below last years, in
three weeks o,oo3,3a5 bushels, against
1924 ,oS2 last year, and Pacific exports
IN the same weeks were 2,2oI,775,
against I,S53oo4 last year. Western re-
ceipts were in three weeks only 8,632,
bushels, against I3,oo5,482 last year.
Corn receipts are smaller than last year
by 100000 bushels for the three weeks,
while exports have been Io,385,I85
bushels, against o5Io,4oo, last year and
this active movement caused spot quo
tations TO advance, Failures for the
week have been 242 in the United States,
against IA last year and 40 in Canada,
against 80 last year.
