FRESH AIR STILL CHEAP.
Other Necessities Are Rapidly BeCOm
ing LuXurieS.

The Sunday Pioneer Press says: -
Butter took an upward turn on the
wholesale market yesterday going TO
2S. 8 and 20 cents for extras. This is
the highest point butter has reached
at this season for many years and
EQUALS the winter market Process
butter has reached 80. 5 and 81, which
for that style of butter, is moving in
high company.
The high prices are not local con-
dition as the eastern markets are in a
similar condition The market is
such that enough butter cannot be Sc
cured to relieve the demand, which is
keeping up the prices.
The cause of the stringency is said
to be last years drouth, which played
havoc with the feed supply. The
drouth extended over the northwest,
the center of butter Production in
America, and into the southern states.
1t is estimated that it will take a
year before the market is restored to
normal condition.
The turkey and chicken market expe1
fenced light rise yesterday, advancing
about 1 cent This is credited to the
increased demand caused by the recent
rise in the price of meats. When the
price of meat rose above the poin,
where the ordinary wage-earner could
afford to purchase it freely for himseli
and family the demand for chickens
and turkeys at once became brisk.
There is a fair supply both OF
turkeys and chickens on the market
1t is not expected by commission mel
that the price will go much highe
than at present.
The same condition exists in the eg!
markets. The higher price of meat
has created demand for eggs. Tn
advanced price is common all owe
the contry, eggs in New York bring
ing 16 and in Chicago 10 cents. TIL
price quoted yesterday on the loca
market was Is and IA cents.
The big storage concerns are buyin
eggs at 1871 and Is. 70 cents for stor
age, which is taken as an indication
that the market will not go muc
lower. April eggs are in big deman
among the storage men owing to thei
keeping quality and freshness. Dealer
are not now looking for lowe
market. They expect that eggs Wi
bring higher figure during this sum
mer than last.
