Price of MIX Advanced.

New York, Sept. S-The Milk Exchange
of this city, at a meeting held on Tues
day, advanced the wholesale price of milk
to 81 can or 2 1-2 cents a quart to take
effect today. The advance in price is due
to the scarcity of milk as a result of the
hot weather of the last few weeks, Dur
ing the heated term there has been an
unprecedented demand for milk on the
part of ice cream manufacturers and
large restaurants, as well as for family
use. Although the new Wholesale price
may remain operative throughout the fall
and winter, ii will probably not effect the
retail trade to any appreciable degree, as
the close combination among the retail
ers precludes any general advance in
price.
