The present session Of congress
promises to have on its hands another
seance with the oleomargarine ques-
ton. The present tax on this hog fat,
beef fat cottonSeed oil mixture when
uncolored is but one-fOurth Of cent
per pound. but if colored to initiate
butter the tax is 10 cents per pound.
II is this little tax that the oleo chaps
are trying to get reduced in order that
they may have still larger profit on
the sale Of the product which is dis
posed OF at a handsome profit even
with the present tax, at from 10 10 l.
cents pound less than is asked for
best grades of butter. On the one
hand the laboring man contends Tor
the oleO producer contends for HIM
that butter at 80 cents pound is de-
cidedlv a luxury and out of his reach,
that If he wants to buy a fatty product
colored to initiate butter it is nObody's
business but his own and that IL he
chooses to purchase it he ought not to
have to pay a tax to the government
any more than the more we'll to do citi-
zen should who elects to eat butter.
There is much force to his argument.
The dairymen, on the other hand, CON
tend that the coloring Of this oleo prod
uct is done SO that it may be sold I'M
der the belief on the part Of the pur-
chaser that it is butter or that when
eating it it will be easier fer him to
think that it is butter, which the farm
er contends is essentially a fraud and
works hardship on his industry in

possible for him to produce butter at
lower prices without actual loss 1t

1910, with a few Barbados at 10 to POD
Prices are fairly steady, buv we notice
that Carolina cotton is offering at rather
easier rates from Char e,town, Fully Fine
being now quoted at 17$d.
The report of Messrs. Henry w Frost 4

States, for the week ending January 20, is
as follows - There was some demand
throughout the week, on u basis of Fine
32c., and Fully Fine to Fine. off in prepara-
ton, at Doe, resulting in the above sales.
The buying was partly for export, but
principally on accou It OF the northern mi Is.
The factors continue to hold for the fol-
lowing prices, viz, Extra Fine 35c, Fully
Fine 34c., Fine 32c., but they SHOW more
disposition to sell, and would probably
