DEMANDING HIGHER PRICES FOR MILK.
At convention of milk producers and dealers
held some time ago, q prIce was adopted subiectto
the approval of the farmers. THIS price, whlcn
vas cents quart for April cents ut quart s so ior
tember was rejected by the farmers Ii IS clale9 oy
them that this rate is NOS only unreason2Oiy low
when COmparcd with the price OF butter, but that
owing to the increased cost of feed and labor 1T Is
impossible to produce milk at these prices with any
profit. Yesterday commi tee Of the producers met net
fel q committee from the New-YOrk and
BROOKLYN Milk Exchanges, but no agree
ment was reached. The farmers insisted that
they ought to share of the benefits III the gen
erai advance of price in all commodities, while the
vendors refused even to pay the price previously
offered for April AS the matter now stands the
farmers will be compelled to accept such rates as
the peddlers choose to pay. unless tho neccsSlty
drives them to combine in holding back the mix
supply until satisfactory terms can be made.
