He gave me very rough and rude
reprimand for net having sooner set
him right and then proceeded to state
that what he had addressed to the
court was all that could be stated
against his client ard that he had put
the case as unfavorably as it were
possible in order that the court might
see how very satisfactorily the case

accordingly very powerfully answered

Then Lord Bramwell continued the
conversation in French, bat it became
evident that the lady understood

PRAISES FOOD LAW.
Helps Foreign Trade, Says United
States Consul Murphy.

That the United States pure food
law instead of hampering foreign
trade has benefited il and seems to
have carried with it greater respect
for foreign labels is the opinion eX.
pressed by United States Consul Dom.
mic l. Murphy, at Bordeaux, France.
former commissioner of pensions, in Il
report on French exports to the United
States.
Consul Murphy says the records of
places which would naturally feel the
effects of changed conditions, show
that the declared values of exports of
French foods and food products to the
United States during the first year of
the operation of the pure food law ac-
tually increased.
The value of alimentary paste, maca-
roni, increased almost $47. 900 during
1907 as compared with 1906. jams and
jellies increased S19,921, olive oil $685.
1853, preserved fruits $34, 70S, preserved
vegetables $50, 1872, still wines SAG. 1Sg
and sparkling wines 5000. Other ar-
ticles classed as foods showed decreas-
ed expectation, but the decrease in al
most every item may be properly &c.
counted for without reference to the
pure food law, says the consul
Exports of brandy fell off $11 ,2S5
but the records show a much greater
falling off in 1906 compared with 1905
The decrease in preserved fish, which
was considerable, was due solely to
the practical failure of the sardine
! fisheries, the packers here having been
utterly unable to supply one-hun
dredth part of their American orders.
As for liquors, the slight decrease is
due to the provision of the pure food
law forbidding the use of certain col
ored matters and the difficulty the
manufacturers have found in obtain
ing proper substitutes.
