Washington, July 20.—Matters havo
advanced far enough between the treas¬
ury department and the bullion dealers
to warrant the assertion that the de-
has won. Monday afternoon
after a small purchase of Bilver had
been made by the department it re¬
ceived several offers from New York
based on the actual market value of
The department refused them.
The director of the mint was in a posi¬
tion to refuse them, because he knew fair¬
well that _ his determined stand
against tho dealers had its effect .and
that tho dealers had come to the conclu¬
sion that in order to sell to the depart¬
ment they must not expect a price
higher than would be paid by any other
purchaser of their commodity.
The history of this controversy be-
tween Mr. Preston and the dealers
shows pretty well that the attempt to
force the government to pay more for
the article than it was worth was iu-
duced by the fact that the dealers were
<'abort "short.’’ ” In in other otuer words, words, to to use use tho
parlance of the street, an attempt was
mado to force the department to cover
the shorts of the dealers. As the mat¬
ter stands at this writing there can bo
no doubt able but that the department will
be hereafter to obtain all the bull¬
it desires at market price.
The dealers have been conducting
their operations upon the idea tiiat tho
department ha<J to purchase 4.500,000
ounces of silver each month no matter
what price it had to pay. It was pointed
out some time ago that there was a sav¬
ing clause in the act directing monthly
purchase of silver. The diqtim of that
clause was that the amount of silver

Preston to task and would undo all that
had been done under that gentleman’s

the sentiments of the bullion dealers.
They will of course be discontinued
now that the dealers have been brought
to terms. *
At any rate they will have no effect,
because, if the matter were brought to
his attention, Secretary Carlisle wonld
not hesitate to say that he upheld Mr.
Preston in everything that he has done.
When Mr. Carlisle went away, it will
be remembered he gave Mr. Preston au¬
thority to use his own discretion in the
matter of purchases. Preston He knew very

Delia went there to stop temporarily

Some baking powders are so imperfectly
made from cheap and inferior materials that
they spoil or lose their strength. During the
last year thousands of cases of a new brand,
sold or commissioned upon a “guarantee,”
have been returned to the manufacturer caked
or spoiled, and useless. .
Such powders, if used in baking, are a vexation.
They spoil good do not flour, make butter nice and bread, biscuit and produce or cake, but im¬
unwholesome eggs,

Royal Baking Powder makes perfect food;
never wastes good materials; never spoils or
loses its strength; the last spoonful in the can
is as good as the first; the housekeeper never
has cause to return it to the grocer and beg for
the return of her money. Its invaluable quali¬
ties are familiar to all American housewives,
who have found its use a reliable guarantee of
light, sweet, pure and wholesome food.
It is unwise, if not dangerous, to take chances
with other baking powders.
