EMAND FORBUTTER
CONTINUES STRONG
Receipts Increasing, But No
Further Drop in Price
Expected.

Although receipts of butter are con-
stantly increasing, the drop Of two
cents a pound last week has resulted
in creating such a strong demand that
there is very little probability of the
price becoming any cheaper during the
present week.
As far as butter goes, the local
market, from the dealers standpoint,
is about all that could be desired
Fancy goods are being readily alb
sorbed at top quotations and under
grades are also sharing IN the general
firmness- Packing stock is in light
supply and selling promptly.
Poultry Market.
With respect to the poultry market.
but few changes in prices are looked
for this week. although hens may be
expected to 'irop, if supply shows any
increase.
Last week the receipts of scalded
fowls were heavy, but a great many Of
them reached the market in poor con-
d1tIOn, owing 20 improper cooling and
not sufficient ice being used.
Demand has apparently reached the
poinf wherc prices on scalded fewls,

quality, considering the time OF the

AS usual. The egg market presents
problems which few dealers. IL any

II does a democrat good to look into their

Every line of his face indicates 1t. He can
neither be driven, persuaded, frightened
can, but We are doubtful IL they would
fight so hard, determinedly and persistently
against the wary foe as would he.
There has been some speculation as to the
probable democratic candidate in 1872, and
IL new timber is to be selected, then it is
but natural to look TO the newly elected
democratic governors in republican states

outside of Wall street and the interests, -
including republicans, Governor Johnson is
receiving no consideration as a candidate
and may be safely counted out of the race
unless he redeems himself during the three

candidate. He has been referred to as a
things he does are by no means democratic
nor can they be endorsed by the democratic
party.
None Of the others has yet approached

so before the close of their term. There

behind him a democratic legislature thai

Worth Kern to the senate as 1t ought Il

by doing that in 1911.
Governor Harmon IL haAdcaped by having
a republican legislature in his state. Har-
mons face indicates that he is very con-
sentative, and would follow in well-beateu
paths. IL the path in front OF him was
blocked, he would. likely rest in the way
until the obstruction was removed. instead
of marching around IL and going on TOWARD
the goal in view. Barring the change

II the candidate in 1912 is TO come from the
democratic governors, S~hallenberger stands
out e-eminently as the man of the hour,
and the excellent start he has already made
gives him such a lead as a man who does
things that the others are not likely to
