Early Food Adulteration.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The Greeks and Romans had their
troubles no less than we of today. Pliny
tells us that the bakers of Rome used
to mix with their dough a white earth
that was soft to the touch and sweet to
the taste and so make bread that
had weight and good appearance. but no
food value. He also speaks of wine adul-
teration, and says that even the rich
could not be sure that their beverages
were pure. The famous wines of Palermo
were artficially coored by aloes and
other drugs. In Athens wine adultera-
ton was so common that special inspec-
tors were appointed to detect and stop
the practice. One Canthare, wine mer-
chant, made his mark on the page OF
history because of his skill in giving the
flavors of age and maturity to new wines.
and in his time the phrase, Artificial as
Canthare" was the common expression
for clever deceit.
Throughout Europe, from the eleventh
century onward, food adulteration was
very generally practced by bakers, brew
ers, spice mongers and winters.
So we see that the wine dealer who
mixes alcohol. water, color, sugars and
navoring essences together and calls it
genuine California wine is doing no new
thing; that the modern baker who makes
short-weight loaves out of damaged grains
Is but walking in the footsteps his craft
made on the streets of Rome two thous-
and years ago; that the druggist who
sells impure chemicals. the spice-grinder
who mixes sawdust with his spices the
miller who grinds corn meal with his
flour. the brewer who makes bad beer.
and the butcher who sells unwhoesome
meat are not modern pests at all. Every
one of them is but putting into present
day practices the tricks that have bother
ed trade and cheated the consumer for n
thousand years or mroe.

COTTON IS AGAIN
At LOWEST LEVEL
Market is More Active and
Nervous
SPOT DEMAND Is LIGHTER
The Close Is Steady at an Advance of
I Point to Decline of Points
On the Active Months.
Tuesday Notice Day.
SPOT DEMAND IS LIGHTER

New York, February 1.-the cotton
market was active today and ruled ner-
vous to unsettled with prices selling back
to the previous low point for the season
under near month liquidation. The close
was steady at an advance of 1 point 10 a
decline of points, but all the active
old crop months were lower and prices
were within a couple of points of the low
est. Sales for the day were estimated at
900 bales.
The opening was steady but at a de-
cline of to points, owing to disappoint-
Ing English cables, reports of a lighter
English spot demand, and the apprehen-
sions over March notices. March sold 20
points under May on the call and at this
difference there was heavy buying of
March against sales of May and July by
spot people and banking interests, who
saw a small profit in the operation above
carrying charges. or who were undoing
previous straddles
This tended to support the March option,
while depressing the latter months, and
the differences gradually narrowed to
about 16 points with the whole list work
ing lower in the meantime, until March
sold at 9.0S, or even with the low level of
February 4. and May at 9.25, which was
points below the previous low record.
The latter months were relatively quiet
the chief interest centering in the near
months owing to the close approach of
March notice day, which falls on next
Tuesday. The general news was about
the same as recently, and had no appre-
ciable influence.
Receipts at the ports today, 59.493 bales,
against oS, 800 last yeelI and rs, $50 last year.
For the week, $4,000 bales (estimated),
against 209,211 last week and 133002 last
year.
Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1882
bales, against 9137 last year, and at Hous-
ton 1920 bales, against 1889 last year.
