TIoN AT THIS TINE.

FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE SUPPLY
The people Of this city need have no fear or a
milk famine or even Of great scarcity OF
that combined food and drink this year. On &C
count OF the rise in the price of feed and Iie
coming OF Of cold weather II was feared that
the farmers would be unable fully to supply the
market bat 2 prominent uptown dealer yespel-
day Informed Tribune reporter that the cohoi-
tons in the dairy regions were not unusual
"It is trIe" he said that there is a scarcity
Of milk just at present. but so there is every
year at this time For several weeks In the pe-
ginning Of every winter. when the COWS al
rrned from the grass of the pasture to feed, the
change, especially if sudden, as 1t was thls year
causes the supply to fall off sometimes as much
as 30 r,er cent and the price rises accordingly
During this period we obliged TO sell al
cost and sometimes even at a loss to supply our
customers, but this accept as usuai occui
renee Within q week from now, as lhe coFs

will increase and things viii assume thelr nor
