The pu-e-food law is not yet in per-

pass upon all the details which arise from
day to day. and the department is not
trying 10 disturb business by sudden revo-

where there is an honest question raised.
The force Of inspectors IS being organized,
but IL Will be some time, more than a
year perhaps, before the force is com

In the meantime il is interesting 10
watch the attitude of the general public.
No man is concerned with the details OF
the manufacture Of the chair on which
he sits. the table from which he eats,
or the cloth with which the table Is
spread. But every man has, or ought 10
have, a lively interest In knowing the

Let everybody remember as We go
along that the words Guaranteed under
the food and drugs act. Serial No 3S3 -
do not mean that the government guar
antees the purity of the product. The
government guarantees nothing under
the pure food laws The legend simply
means that the concern which manu-
factures the product has filed with the
Department OF Agriculture a guarantee
that il viii so make It's products as 20
conform 10 the provisions of the law as
construed by the officers In authority.
When such guarantee Is made TO the
department the guarantor's name is en-
tered and he Is given serial number
which he may use on the labels of his
products. The guarantee" label means
that the manufacturer has pledged him
self to the government to obey the law,
not that the government has examined
the product and found it up TO the
standard. Thus far no serial number
has been granted to the great manu-
featuring concerns which make the fill
ing for our national pies.

Into the heart Of the great American
pie has sunk the cruel blade OF the pure
food experts Of the Federal government
Everybody knows that the pie habit
originated in New England. from whence
II spread 10 every part Of this great
country. Few know, however, that the
greater part of the pies sold by bakeries
in al cities are made in Boston. Great
factories IN the Hub" are devoted to the
concoction Of pie filling" The filling is
packed in barrels, tubs, and pals, and
sent out to any baker who Will buy. AS
the bakers can buy the filling cheaper
than they can make it at the bake-shop,
and as il saves much time and labor.
most bakers are patrons Of the filling
factories.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Aug 1.-The demoraliza-
ton in the metal markets which seems
inevitable in view of the underselling
Of the Independent producers caused a
sharp slump in the price of both Am
algamated Copper and Anaconda The
former declined two points. selling at
81; Anaconda sold off from So 10 50 II.
This Is a break of almost ten points
in both Of these securities since the
prominent Boston Spectator advised
the country generally to purchase these
shares.
The break In Shelters from 113 TO
III Is attributed TO selling by inside
interests. 1t is asserted the weakness
in the metal markets Of the world will
cause a decrease in the earnings Of the
American Shelters company The gen
eraI retrenchment in other lines of
business. it is said. must sooner or
later be felt in the iron, steel and metal
markets and have depressing effect
upon the earnings of these industries
During the early part of the session
an organized effort was made to bring
about a rally in the gen sral market
by marking up the higher priced rail-
soad shares. st Paul sold up from
131% to 1873; Union Pacific from 141%
TO 143; Southern Pacific 50 to 80 but
the bulls met with such determined op-
position from influential selling that
they abandoned their efforts and joined
the bea- army aud added fuel to an
already weak market
Even the action of the directors OF
Southern Pacific in increasing the dlvi-
dend rate from per cent to per
cent fell fiat and only induced profit
taking by those who bought the shares
at lower figures. The advance in
lower figures during the past ten days
from SIS to 81 has In measure dis
counted the good news on the stock.
During the last hour of the session
short covering brought about a rally
in the railroad list which mad the eff
feet of closing some Of the stocks

early declines in these shares were not

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Dullnes with a

CORN.-An unusually large trade in
corn today. Local spectators of the

reports indicated a more rugged crop
