New York Sun: Assistant Dis
trict Attorney De Ford, who is
conducting the Investigation into
the relations OF the New York
Mercantile Exchange with the
prices Of butter and eggs. receiv-
ed a letter yesterday from r. H.
Fitch Of Norwalk, Conn, enclosing
clippings from a local newspaper
The Norwalk Hour, telling OF To-
cal experience in buying eggs,
". H. Byington Of Norwalk, it
appears, bought a dozen strictly

chaser Of this egg is requested to
communicate with j. L. Thomson,
Readville, Tenn" Before writing
Mr.. Thomson, Mr.. Byington CALI
ed up the grocer from which he
had bought the eggs--the New

that the company had bought the
eggs from Swift & Co.'S Stamford
branch at AZ cents a dozen.
He then wrote to Mr.. Thomson
and received a reply saying that
Mr.. Thomason had sold the eggs
about Dec lie, 1911.
II received II cents a dozen for
them" Mr.. Thumason wrote.
which we think is a high price
here, but / expect those eggs cost
you 2s or 80 cents a dozen there.
II it is not too much trouble write
me telling what they cost you a
dozen there"
Mr. Byington has saved the shell
Of the egg which brought him the
first message.
Another clipping enclosed by Mr..
Fitch quotes a letter written to Mr..
Byington by j. C. ValIette OF North

the Monetary Reform association,
In which MIR. yailette seeks to
show that the private owners OF

experiences in view OF the state
ment made the other day by
Franklin ". Taylor, counsel for
the Mercantile Exchange Ia which
he said the money in the butter
and egg business was made not by
either wholesalers or retailers, bu;
by the farmers.

Chicago Tribune: Edward A. Erd.
self-confessed loan shark OF Is yearg
standing, recently gave his opinion OF
men Of his type and explained the
cheap regard in which they hold the
borrowing public, Here is some of his
philosophy:
All loan sharks should be in jail.
Some would use a lead pipe or pick
your pockets, but that isn't policy"
People who borrow are fools, and the
majority are dead beats who cannot
procure credit from the grocer OF
butcher.
Loan sharks are not philanthropists.
They are out for what they car get.
and IL they can't get it they have to
go out and grab the goods.
/ wouldn't employ a man or woman
who found 1t necessary to do business
with the shark. Unmarried borrowers.
as a rule, would tap the till; they'd
steal the pins off your desk.
We exist through the irnprovidence
the extravagance-of the skilled
American mechanic. You won't find
the name of a single foreign-born per-
son on our books.
It's not the starving distressed per-
son who comes to us. We cannot af-
ford to bother with that class. We
send them to the country agent OF
the nearest policeman.
Ones first loan may be a favor, but
| all su~bsequence loans are a curse.

COPELAND Was FREED
Man Who Returned FROM California
Cannot Be Prosecuted, Barred by
Statute Of Limitations.

Last nights Fergus Falls Journal
says that Samuel i. Copeland, who
came from California to answer for
the Northern Pacific hoIdup in 1893, liz
still at liberty and will probably re-
main at liberty, as the statute OF linn
itations seems to bar prosecution
after this lapse OF time. The statute
of limitations applies to all crimes ex-
cept murder. which never outlaws. In
the case OF other crimes. a man may
be taken and punished at n time in
case he has been indicted, or in case
he has been outside the state, but in
case he has been in the state for a
stipulated length of time. and no in
dictment is brought against him,
prosecution is. barred. In this case,
Copeland was in the state for bout
six years after the crime, as he was
sentenced from Moorhead for the
holdup of the bank and served a Eve
years' term in saltwater for that Of
tense.
In this particular case. it does not
look as 'ough any good purpose
would be served by sending Cope
land to prison. as he has every APP
pearance OF having REFORMED ano the
fact that he has come all the way
from California to admit the crime
and give himself UP, voluntarily
when no one even suspected him OF 1t
ought to be good evidence Of his
reformation.
He was asked Thursday morning
what he proposed to do, and replied
that he had no very definite plans. He
had no idea of going back to his home
at Johnstown, o., as his home there
is broken up, his mother having died
some time ago., and Is father having
died during the past summer,
He spoke briefly at the Swedish
Baptist church Wednesday evening,
having become a member Of a large
Baptist church in Los Angeles after
his conversion, and he thinks Of ar
ranging for a meeting in this city to
tell OF his religious experiences before
leaving.

Speculative Gossip,

Caicago-A majority of the local
wheat traders think that the bull side
has grown stale and that the market
needs a big break to put it in a good
healthy condition. They see the big
stocks, nearly 100000 bushels in
Chicago which is unusual at this
season, also the large receipts which
exceed last years and cre having it
constantly drilled in to them that
milling trade is light. Those who are
extremely bullish have an abiding
faith in the statistics which show a
pending scarcity before another crop
is raised, and incline to the buying
side Of May and July on any good
break. 1t was the gossip OF the corn
trade that the local shorts we're well
in, although they remain bearish in
their views and that most of The pit

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Ev.rira Grain Letter.

Chicago, March 15.-Wheat: The
market opened f~ractionaIly lower and
prices suffered a sharp decline. the
greatest weakness being in the May
delivery which broke over 2 cents per
busrsl from last nights closing prices.
There seemed to be little support until
101 was reached, while the selling was
made UP largely Of stop loss orders
and seemed to ON from all direc-
tions. The July and September de-
liveries met with fair buying on the
decline. There was further heavy
snow over a good part Of the winter
wheat country, which was a favorable
feature. The market acts very heavy
and with the continued pressure on
May wheat, it seems unlikely that
much reaction likely to take place.
