7ODEALERS CAUTIONED
ABOUT UNFAIR PROFITS
All Except Mr.. Walker Promise to
Keep Within Margin
on Eggs.

District Food Administrator Wilson,
in the gold room of the Lafayette
Hotel on 18th street yesterday after
noon, advised seventy dealers who
were told to appear before him for
charging more than the percentage
of profits allowed for eggs and other
commodities that the administration
is still on the job despite orders which
have gone out to the effect that part
of the administration work is to be
stopped.
No individual hearings were held,
the local food administrator speaking
collectively to the men. He impressed
upon them the fact that the fair price
list and other lists seeking TO kee ?
down high prices will be continued.
and that dealers guilty of violating
the Lever act are still liable to a line
of $1,000, or not more than one year
in prison, or fine and imprisonment
Attention of dealers was also called
to the law compelling the marlslng OF
storage eggs.
All dealers. with one exception.
promised hereafter to make it a point
not to exceed their margain OF I or
s cents a dozen profit on eggs, and a
fair profit on other things.
The District food administrator
stated this morning that the disagree
ment came from Mr.. Walker of the
walker Hughes Market Company of
Goth an1 P streets. He is said to have
declared that he could not meet the
demands OF the Administered and
make money. His next move is
awaited by Mr.. Wilson.

FEDERAL WHEAT FIGURES
HELP BEAR TRADERS

CHICAGO. December 12.-Nearby
deliveries of corn have run up in
value this week as a result of serious
delays to the crop movement, but
later options have declined, owing
mainly to government figures that
suggested an immense yield of WIN
ter wheat. Compared with week
ago. corn prices this morning varied
from 2as off to Gig advance. Were
down 21c to 3b, and provisions lower
by 81 to 1.55.
Bears in the corn market made
much of the official announcement
that the condition of winter wheat
was the best in more than twenty
years, and that the area seeded was
the largest on record
Decided uneaSineSs, however de-
veloped afterward in connection with
reports that country roads in many
sections were in wretched shape on
account of bad weather and that
therefore supplies from first hands
had been greatly restricted. As
stocks of corn here were down TO
virtually nothing. shorts had no es-
cape except to bid up December and
January, or else face chances of a
squeeze.
In the oats market the main fac
tors were the slowness of export call
and of domestic shipping sales.
Continuous excessive arrivals of
hogs. together with increased stocks
of lard, had a severely weakening in
fiuence on provisions.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, December 21-Brad-
streets review of trade says:
Animation flowing from holiday
buying sharply contrasts with the
slow movements evidenced in whole
sale lines. with the effects of cancel
lations. with downward revis!ons of
some prices AVID with uncertainty
created either by the divergent views
as to the future expressed by promi-
nent personages or by concern over
the fact that the government has
large supplies of used materials to
market. Inventoring is under way,
travelling statesmen are in for the holt
days. small lot filling orders con-
veyed by mail are the rule, and in
cases where unexpectedly large stocks
have been revealed, the policy is to
clear decks. In fact, the general at
titude as to manufactured goods is to
reduce prices in order to hasten re-
adjustments and make a market.
Auction sales of wool conducted by
the government have disclosed
strong demand and good prices for
desirable materials, but low grade
stuff seemed to go begging for TAX
ers and offerings of woolens similarly
made brought satisfactory prices for
mems material. while showing weak
ness in women's goods, the products

Bully Drops a Hint.

Bully the English Sparrow has a
any meaner disposition anywhere.
He isn't contented with being greedy
and selfish. but must add jealousy.
Yes. sir. that's just what he does. He
is jealous of others who may have
good things even when he himself
has plenty. The rest of his family
are just like him.
After the Bob Whites had had that
first good meal just outside of
Farmer Browns henyard they came
! there every day. and every day they
found a good meal waiting for them.
You sec. Farmer Browns Boy took
pains to see that they should be fed.
/: didn't take Bob long to discover
at just what time Farmer Browns
Boy was in the habit of putting out
that grain. and he and his family
We're right on hand.
The sparrows We're right on hand
also. but they had to content them
selves with stealing from the hens,
for the? had no desire for another
fight with the Bob Whites. When
Farmer Browns Boy stood around to
watch the Bob Whites eat Bully and
his family had to go without. for they
did not dare to come down in the
benyard while he stood there. So it
was that they came to hate the Bob
Whites. 1t wasn't that they didn't
have plenty to eat themselves. for
they did. 1t was because they were
jealous of the Bob Whites.
SO the sparrows sat on the barn
roof day after day and called the Bob
Whites bad names and We're as inn
pudent and impolite as only English
sparrows can be. But the Bob Whites
paid them no attention whatever, and
this made Bully still more provoked.
When they he'd picked up the last
bit of grain the Bob Whites would
| fly down to the far corner of the Old
Orchard. There in the shelter of the
! old stone wall they would take a sun
+! bath among the weeds and bushes
which grew in that corner. They had
been left there purposely by Farmer
Browns Boy 50 as to give protection
! and food TO his little feathered
i friends. Sometimes Bully followed
| the Bob Whites just to continue his
. scolding, and also to see what they
/ did
j One day as Bully sat on the roof
I of the barn he saw red coat down
j in the Long Lane which leads to the
Green Meadows. A sudden thought
popped into Bully's head. Why not
get Eeddy Fox to brighten those
Bob Whites so that they would not
| dare come back. No sooner had he
| thought of it than Bully was on his
way to the Long Lane, where he
