Price of Milk Goes Up.-The Baltimore |
San of Tuesday said: IAN increase in the |
wholesale price of milk went into effect yester-
day, when the retailers, on the demand of the |
farmers and dairymen, agreed to a raise of
from Is and II cents gallon to IS and 20 cents |
until March LIST, when another schedule will |
be agreed upon.
The raise was brought about By a combina-
ton of reasons, the first and most important,
say the prime movers in the Milk Specials that
traversed Western Maryland last March, is the
demand for the nourishing beverage since the
agitation for pure milk was inaugurated. There
is no doubt that the specials, did great deal
of good for the consumer. They taught the
dairyman how to handle milk so it would be
delived to them pure and wholesome. There
is steady increase in the demand for good
milk in the city. Farmers and dairymen in
the milk belt have taken heed to the advice
and as consequence they have profited.
"As to the effect on the consumer, it is not
believed the retailers will raise the price. A
majority of the dealers are getting cents a
