other eggs which consist wholly or
in part Of filthy, decomposed, or
putrid substance, are adulterated.
The investigations of the depart
ment have shown that it is CONNER
cially practicable, by the method of
Gambling, to eliminate from any given
shipment most of the eggs of the
kinds which the department regards
as adulterated. 1t is not the practice
of the department, however, to base
proceedings under the food and drugs
act on shipments of eggs unless there
are present larger percentages of bad
eggs than are ordinarily present in
recognized commercial grades of can
died eggs. The department is in
formed that cases Of eggs are not
allowed to receive even the lowest
candled egg grades if the cases con-
tain more than one and one-half doz-
en- or per cent of bad eggs. Coun-
try shippers who are not certain of
the freshness of their eggs should
candle them before shipping them in
interstate commerce.
Eggs which are adulterated may be
shipped in interstate or foreign COM
merce for use in tanning or other
technical ways without violating the
provisions of the food and drugs act
only if they are first denatured so
as to render them incapable of being
used for food. Since it is impractical
BILE to denature eggs in the shell,
adulterated shell eggs must be broken
out and denatured prior. to shipment.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Floodtide as
poets characterize demand, with SUI
perabundant activity stamping most
movements in manufacturing and
mercantile lines. While the more
serious turn in our international po-
litical relations tends to cause con-
Germ and some of the lowest prices
of the year in stock market prices,
effects in other directions thus far
have been almost entirely negligible.
A few other cross-currents are visi-
BILE here and there, conspicuous in
this respect being ease in southern
pig iron, lower prices for coke, de-
ferring of building projects because
of extraordinarily high quotations, ir-
regularity in Northwestern retail
trade, due entirely to weather, how
ever; some sagging in raw silk, and
the continued restless attitude of Ia
Dor.
But beyond everything is the strong
fact that the country's producing
units are sold UP, and therefore it is
quite useless to place orders for any
thing like nearby delivery. Weekly

Sacrifices Necessary
Bankruptcy Law and the Farmer.

A member of the Baltimore Asso-

the question why the bankruptcy act
exempts farmers from the possibility
of having filed against them involun-

Credit Mems Bulletin. "The act has
extreme shortcomings" the member
says, Gin view of the fact that 1t gives
a farmer the right to go into volun.

"The reason for this Is two-fold:
first, historically, the bankruptcy act
was meant originally to apply only to
traders Indeed, for nearly three
centuries 1t did not have anything

Even in our own country, originally,
the bankruptcy act was applicable
only to traders.

Eggs Come Under Federal Food Act

The United States department of
agriculture has decided to apply the
federal food and drug act to eggs in
the shell and hereafter egg shippers
will be compelled to closely candle
their eggs, as under ruling just is
sued by the department, egg dealers
who ship more than S per cent of bad
eggs in interstate commerce will be
subject to prosecution under the food
and drug act of 1906.
According to the department of ag-
riculture, it is now commercially prac-
ticable to eliminate from any given
shipment most of the eggs coming
under the ban, by the system of can
ding. Retail merchants in the small
er towns who make a practice of buy
ing eggs from farmers and shipping
to commission men in the cities, will
be compelled to keep close watch
on all shipments and see that the
eggs are closely candled in order to
avoid trouble with the government.
Here is the full text of the ruling of
the department:
The department Of agriculture has
had under consideration for some
time the application Of the federal
food and drugs act to the shipment in
interstate commerce Of eggs in the
shell, especially the two classes of
eggs known in the trade as current
receipts" and as ''rejects" from can
ding rooms. Current receipts" con-
tain at different seasons of the year
varying proportions of eggs which are
filthy, decomposed, or putrid. Ere
jects" from Gambling rooms, as a rule,
contain large proportions Of eggs
which are filthy, decomposed, or pu-
trid, and very small proportions of
eggs suitable for consumption.
Under the federal food and drugs
act, eggs, in common with other arti-
cles of food, are adulterated if they
consist wholly or in part Of a filthy,
decomposed, or putrid substance. Sec
ton 2 of the act prohibits the ship
ment in interstate commerce of foods
which are adulterated and it is plain
that this prohibition applies to the
shipment in Interstate commerce Of
current receipts" or of "rejects" from
Gambling rooms or of any other grade
of eggs in the shell unless the filthy,
decomposed, or putrid eggs have been
removed.
In the opinion of the department.

she'll, moldy eggs, black spots, mixed

THE SPOKANE MARKET.


Business betterment is becoming
a pronounced and readily distin-
guished feature of the situation
throughout the Pacific Northwest.
There is we'll defined distinction in
the conditions prevailing in the mar
ket as compared with year ago.
Optimistic reports are coming to
hand from agricultural sections,
where excellent crop prospects and
confidence in good prices give the
situation a cheerful outlook. At the
moment the most serious deterrent
apparent, aside from the fact that
the sources of production in many
lines are SO overtaxed as to render
difficult the placing Of orders, is the
congestion in transportation facili-
ties and delayed deliveries, both by
rail and water. Freight service is
seriously congested, while the posi-
bility of further decentralization I'm.
less there is an adjustment Of the
differences between the brotherhood
of engineers and firemen and the
railway companies is disturbing
contingency.
Sugar-There has been a further
advance of Is points in the sugar
market, and advices from primary
sources continue of bullish charac-
ter, despite the fact that values are
reaching an abnormal position. The
elements of strength emphasized at
this time are the inadequacy of trans
-portation facilities, the advance in
freight rates, the decrease Of some
thing like 100000 tons in estimates
of the Cuban crop, owing to drought,
and the fact that Cuban growers,
holding the control of the situation,
are taking advantage of their posi-
ton to exact higher prices for their
holdings.
Provisions.
Butter-A sharp decline in the but
ter market was made this week as
the result of marked increase in
the supply. The new figure for Wash
ington creamery is 30@33c per pound.
Eggs Market still holds firm at
last weeks prices of $3.50 to the pro-
ducers and 81 wholesale, but there
seem to be Indications pointing to
decline, as the supply is on the in
crease.
