Butter One Cent Lower

Receipts of butter on the Chica-
go and New York markets have
been liberal, no doubt being the re-
Election of increased production
due to moderation of weather
throughout the middle western
producing area. Both markets
closed Saturday unsteady with sup
plies ample to meet the demand.
The Chicago butter market on
80 score Standards is quoted at
351a cents, which is one cent low
err than a week ago. The New
York butter market on 90 score
Extras is 351a cents.
Egg receipts on the New York
market have been heavy during the
past week, and consuming trade Is
buying more freely due to lower
retail prices. The market at pres
ent is firm, but it is anticipated
further decline will occur this week
due to heavy increased production
which is reflection OF improved
weather conditions throughout the
Middle West.
Chicago egg market on fresh
graded firsts is 351a to 361a cents,
as compared to 35 to 3512 cents q
week ago. New York Firsts are 81
cents.
Receipts of live fowl on the New
York market have been liberal,
this contrary to predictions that
due to bad weather conditions, re-
ceipts would be light. This has
been reflected in the steady decline
in the market the past few days.
With the continued free movement
of poultry, further declines are an
ticipated.
Chicago live poultry market is
quoted as follows: Fowl, leghorns,
p cents; colored, 25; springs, leg
horns, 10; colored, 26; shaggy chic
kens, 21; old ROSTERS, IS cents.
Dressed chickens from the Mid
West are showing extreme shaggy
quality and are selling at very ir-
regular prices. Receipts of dressed
fowl have been light and prices ad-
vanced one cent early in the week.

Charged with laziness guilty
simply of acidity! That's the stu
alton with many men today. They
realize that they are not themselves
they're conscious of vague, tired
feeling that's always with them
they know they have to pull them
selves together for each and every
task--but they can't tell what's the
trouble. They're branded as lazy
and ambitionless when the real
truth is that they're sick men
victims of acidity.
Acidity, due to our unnatural
eating habits, irregular hours and
other violations of Natures laws,
causes acid-indigestion with gas,
sourness and burning. Also, it sets
up fermentation and putrefaction
in the intestinal tract, which forms
poisons that sap our strength and
vitality, irritate our nerves, spoil
our sleep and make us weak, list
less and chronically tired.
To correct acidity a remarkable
new product has been developed by
100-year- old pharma ceutical house
in Germany. 1t comes in the form OF
small white tablets called Magnesia
Oxoids, which do not have to be
,hewed but may be swallowed whole.

with the acid in the stomach. gen.

CURB ISSUES EASE

VEGETABLE TRADE
BENEFITS BY LAW
Borah Summers Licensing
Act Designed to Prevent
Dishonest Practices.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The quality of fresh fruits and vege-
tables shipped to consuming centers of
the United States has been ioticeably
improved since passage Of the perish
able agricultural commodities act of
1880 at the last session of Congress.
This bill, better known as the Borah-
Summers mandatory licensing bill, re-
quires all commission merchants, deal
ers and brokers who handle perishable
agricultural commodities In interstate
or foreign commerce to take out q
license before December 10, 1880, and
at the same time will make it unlawful
to misrepresent the condition of mer-
chandise under threat of revocation Of
license The National League of Com
mission merchants, with a membership
of 755 dealers, including the leading
firms east of the Mississippi River,
holds the measure has elevated the in
dustry to the highest standard of oper-
alton ever achieved.
The measure revives generally the
licensing system in operation under the
United States Food Administration
during the World War, and primarily
proposes to afford means for bringing
about q quick adjustment Of con-
troversies, thus obviating the necessity
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-08-07
of tedious and costly processes of court

procedure.
Fresh fruits and vegetables being
highly perishable and their marketing
complicated. opportunity often is af-
1oroed for controversies. Remedial
measures have been the subject of
much discussion at annual conventions
OF commission merchants. and the pres
ent law meets with the approval of
their association.
z. l.. Roberts, general manager of
the league, says that, while the fresh
fruit and vegetable industry is as free
from dishonesty and unfair practices as
any other business. the ease with which
one may enter it offers wide oppor-
tunity for fraud and unfair dealings
Il believe" he said, this act will be
the means of removing unfair and TN
ethical competition in the industry,
since those who are guilty Of such con-
duct will be deprived OF their license
to operate"
One obstacle to be surmounted be-
fore the Industry can operate at 100
per cent efficiency, Mr.. Roberts said, is
the gullibility OF shippers, who stead
tasty subordinate the item of re-
sponsibility and integrity OF wholesale
dealers in city markets, and sell their
produce where quotations are highest,
regardless of the reputation the pur-
chaser enjoys.
