BROOKLYN MILK UP, TOO.
Nine Cents Quart in Bottles 10
Be Price After NOUembGr I.

There is little doubt that the price of bottled
milk will be increased to nine cents quart by
all Brooklyn dealers November l. Eight
cents is the present price charged by all deal
ers except the SlawsOn- Decker Company, pro-
prietors Of the Sheffield Farms who operate
thirty wagons acr0ss the bridge. This company
raised the rate in Brooklyn at the time of the
increase TO nine cents in Manhattan, on Octo-
Der 1, but the other dealers continued the for
mer price. much to their regret now. The
Brooklyn dealers did not raise the price of GER
tilted milk from 10 to u cents a quart on
October l. and those who sell it said yesterday
that even at this price there is little profit.
Brooklyn dealers said that there was no
movement whereby all would increase the price
at the same time, but every said an in
crease was inevitable. Next month the price
to the farmers will have to be advanced which
is another argument in favor of the innocent
rate.
/ w. Rushmore, one of the largest dealers in
Brooklyn, said yesterday There is no money
in selling bottled milk at eight cents. and next
month we viii all be losing money if the present
rate is continued I am in favor of an in
crease for il is the only way can make
both ends meet 1t was absolutely necessary
for us to raise the price of certified milk to 10
cents and there isn't any money in it at that
We have to pay more for the milk; then there
is the fee TO the milk commission, the caps, the
paraffn and the rubber bands. They all cost
money We cannot gauge the supply, and many
days there is lots of milk left over, which has
TO be sold for eight cents several cents less
than paid for it"
conditions are tending to an increase" said
Alexander Campbell president of the Campbell
Milk Company. We cannot continue much
longer at the present price"
At the McDermott- Bunger Dairy Company 1t
was said that there was profit in selling
milk at eight cents quart in the winter
months. I'VE will have to pay the farmers
more next month" it said land from then
on for five months will be selling at loss
if we do not raise the price"
The Borden Milk Company has large trade
In brooklyn but President Rodgers continued
his policy of silence regarding the plans of the
company
President Horton of the Slawson-Decke Com
pany explained the necessity for an increase in
the price of certified milk by saying that the
regulations provided require one story stable
for the COWS with windows on all sides con-
crete floor stall of iron, the keeping of hay In a
separate building and the presence of man
at all hours Of the day and night. You can
make the cost OF this milk just as high as you
want to. for It is the same as with any other
fad" ne said.
