BUTTER ADVANCES WITH MILK.
FANCY CREAMERY GOES UP CENT AND
HALF SINCE AUGUST Il


The wholesale price OF fancy creamery butter
reached to I1s cents q pound yesterday. Since
August q it has risen and half cents This Is
in part due the shrinkage in the milk supply
caused by the long period Of dry weather Cheese
has also gone up from ga to 1oss cents a pound
In the same period Of time.
The price Of butter usually rises at this season
Of the year. but not 70 such high point Last
August when there good market for Il for
export, the price reached cents The export
market is not so good this year.
George s. Hart, Of G. s. Hart & Co.. No. %
Warren-st- wholesale dealers in butter and cheese
said yesterday afternoon:
Fancy creamery butter advanced on August Is
one cent and to-day, understand. II has gone up
again one-half cent; 70 21z cents. The advance
was due, think, to the hot dry ather Cheese
advanced from 90 cents 70 101z on August l5 and
to-day II Is selling at 105s cents. The reasons for
the advance in cheese the long period Of dry
weather, the demand for export and the large
Southern demand Prices going up a little all
the time An increase in the wholesale price Of
butter AFFECTS the retail price little, but the re-
tail price Of cheese does not vary. Grocers usually
have one price at which they sell cheese the year
round.

The finances of the city, if they continue at the present rate, will soon require some heroic attention. Already city scrip has dropped from 90 to 85 cents. and if there is not some "retrenchment and reform, !" scrip is likely to go still lower. Our Mayor and "City Dads" will there fore have to give the matter inn mediate attention. Next years taxes have already been spent, six teen months ahead, and since the removal of the slot machines, the city revenues have been materially reduced. Expenses, it seems to us, should be reduced commensurateIy. Let all sineeure offices be abolished, or at least tue salaries thereof be reduced. There is also room in the mayors salary for a reduction. The mayor receives a salary of $l, 300 year, with no ardurous or irksome duties to perform-du

IL is true tbat the campaign and elecuon are over, but should pot prevent the grand jury from in- dieting those who committed frauds in the March primary, or else fraud may be committed again. The only way to stop wrong is to punish those who committed it. A crime against the ballot is a felony, and should be punished accordingly Laws are made to be obeyed, and it is the duty of the grand jury to see to it that the laws are enforced. No doubt the authors and bene6eiaries of the frauds alleged to have been committed in March would be glad to hush the matter up. The ways of the rascal are iu darkness, not in light. After so many charges and evidences of fraud in the last pri mary, charged against both sides, let us have the searchhght of truth turned on the matter by the grand jury in order that all of those who committed any frauds may be prose cuted and punished, so that the like may not happen again.
