Pound Of Butter Must Weigh
i6 Ounces.
MEANING OF LAW PLAIN
Boise Creamery Compelled to Pay
SIS Fine.

AnIce cases involving attractions
OF the pure food laws of Idaho
were disposed of at Boise last
week before Justice William c.
Dunbar. The complaints were
sworn to by State Pure Food Com
missioner James H. Wallis. One
charged the Commercial Creamery
with selling cascade" butter of
short weight. This is the out
come Of the seizure made by
Commissioners Wallis. Before
taking any steps in the matter that
official went to several of the stores
in the city and had them weigh up
their butter on their own scales.
He then took short weight pack
age, sealed it with his official
stamp and paid for it, securing
receipt for the same from the
retail dealer showing the weight Of
the product. When he had Sc
cured about half dozen of such
packages he went to the creamery
and weighed up box full Of their
butter, finding it all short and
seized the entire amount, estimat-
ed then at 500 pounds.
This is the first case under the
new law. Upon a plea of guilty
being entered by Manager Good
hue of the Commercial Cream
company, the butter was released
and a fine Of SIS imposed, which
was paid.
Commissioner Wallis states that
the cases he intended bringing
against the retail merchants from
whom he purchased the short
weight will not be prosecuted, as
he is confident they will be very
careful in future and see that the
butter they sell comes up to the
weight required under the law.
Immediately after the seizure of
his butter by Wallis, Manager
Goodhue had labels printed show
ing that each package of his butter
was guaranteed to weigh IS ounces
the difference being accounted for
by alleged shrinkage. When asked
about the legality of this plan,
Commissioner Wallis gave it as
his opinion that it was distinctly
illegal under section 1892 Of the
pure food law, which is as follows:
"Weight of butter to be printed
on package. Each package of
butter offered or exposed for sale
shall have stamped upon the
wrapper or package the actual
number of ounces contained in
said package. Each square or
roll Of butter kept, exposed or Of
fered for sale in the state of Idaho,
which is represented to contain
one pound in weight, shall contain
full I6 ounces, and each square or
roll of butter kept or offered for
sale in the state of Idaho which
shall be represented to contain two
pounds in weight shall contain 81
ounces"
Commissioners Wallis takes the
ground that when person pur.
chases pound OF butter he asks
for a pound and expects to get I6
ounces for his money. For this
reason, he says, package of but
ter may surely be said to be repre-
sented to weigh a pound and if it
weighs less thanl6 dances the law
is violated. Statesman.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
DAYS CHANGES WERE SMALL.
Moderate Strength and Weakness Al
ternated-8risk Rally at Close.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The stock
market today was of much the same
character as yesterday. Periods OF
moderate strength and weakness alter
mated and the tone was spotty and ir-
regular at all times. There was no
effective delay in evidence in sufficient
amount SUCH as would mark an agrees
slVe accumulation, but evidence of
some support at defined point in a
decline gave the bears warning Of OBJ
stacles to be encountered in too bold
an attack on values. While this SUD-
port appeared en- the declines, any up
ward movement was likely to bring
selling orders into the market again.
The sentiment amongst the profess
sional operators was not optimistic and
the events Of the day, while not of
great Importance, were construed IN
favorably. The response of foreign
markets to the news of the settlement
between Austro- Hungary and Turkey
was disappointment. A decline in
private discounts in Paris and Berlin,
rise in London exchange at Paris
and a fall in the London price of gold
were reflections of the relaxed tension
Of the situation. London discounts,
however, continued to advance and
foreign stock markets did not retain
the benefit first shown in the news.
STOCK exchange members on the floor
engaged in some discussion of the
trade PROSPECTS in this country and
were inclined to give ear to views -ex-
pressing disappointment over the rate
OF business Improvement. Intimations
were heard Of a probable disappointing
showing for the forthcoming quarret :

poration and the January orders re-
cetved were said to be Disappointing.
In this connection, the rate at which
