INTERVIEW WITH THE ACTRESS

from Vienna:

now known world wide as the
charming French dancer whose lit

King Manuel from the throne OF
Portugal, found the charming lit
tie woman in tears in her apart
ments at the Hotel Bristol. In her
hand she held a telegram that had
Just been delivered to her. She
smiled a greeting through the tears
in her wonderful dark eyes.

from Gibraltar. Poor boy, he thinks
of me constantly in the hour of his

me happy. So my tears may be tears

mo, no." she laughed, hugging
the telegram to her breast, you are

Then she became serious. The
tears in her eyes had dried and they
flashed anger and defiance.
"The whole world curses Kinl

1.-The commission man in New York who
receives a consignment of eggs feels that
he is entitled to reasonable commission.
This time of the year he can handle them
for y cent a dozen. In winter. when the
volume of shipments is smallest, his COM
mission charge goes up high as cents.
but rarely as high as this The commission
man can sell the shipment of Illinois eggs

a 22Is cents to iobbers, who distribute them
to the grocery men all over the city. The
jobbers are poor men and handle only
small amount of business. There are prob
ably a thousand of them in the egg bust
in this city. The commission charged
by the jobber is from . cents to cents
dozen.
1T is the joDber who candles the eggs
and sorts them. He buys the full crates.
takes out broken and bad eggs and loss
through these. added to the cost Of delivery,
makes the iobber's expenses about 2la cents
a dozen. Eggs for which he paid the COM
mission man 2212 cents he must now regard
as having cost him % cents. Add to this
his margin Of 8 cents a dozen for profit and
payment for Ia Dor in Gambling. and a fair
sale price to the grocer for eggs that the
farmer in Illinois got IS cents for is % cents.
THE grocer who handles only a small
volume OF business must average 20 per
cent profit in order to make IT worth his
while to stay in the business. He can
scarcely afford to sell eggs that cost him
Is cents a dozen for less than 81 cents or
80 cents. So that 10 cents has been added

farm. This Is about as eggs are running
at this time Of the year, and 10 cents is

farmer and the price to the consumer.

THE MARGIN ANALYZED.

"Of this margin exactly cents is account
ed for by what may be called transit
charges. That is to say, l cent for Grating,
Ia cents for freight and refrigeration and
219 cents for broken eggs and bad eggs. The
other 10 cents goes to the middlemen IN
proportion as follows: One-half cent to the
Western storekeeper, l cent to the local
Western shipper, II cent to the New York
commission house, cents to the New York
iobber and 5 cents to the retail grocer. In
winter commissions all run higher. All
along the line the quantity OF eggs handled
is very small and each man must get more
in proportion for handling this small guam
tity, or else he will have to go out OF bust
ness. The farmer also gets more. The
very scarcity of eggs obliges the commits
sion houses that are competing against one
another to offer the farmer the highest
price they can afford to pay
at may be asked, Why could not the re-
tail grocer buy direct from the commission
man, and SO eliminate the tobber's percent
age? Some of the larger grocers do this.
but the number of these is so small that it
has no effect on the market. These men
have to employ Gamblers OF their own.
There is some economy in this, but mani

PROFIT OF THE GROCER.

In general II may be said that the gro
Ger pays for butter IL cents a pound above
the wholesale quotations. He needs to
make cents on the pound. but he is not
getting this now in every case. The chain
stores have reduced the grocer's margin of
profit His average now is from to 4
cents a pound During the last four years
this firm has been keenly interested in
trying to find some way of getting butter
direct to the consumer without having 1t
pass through the jobbers' hands. We have
been urged forward TO this by a desire to
keep the price Of butter at a figure where
people could afford to buy and where con-
sumption would not be curtailed.
You will understand that the Beef Trust
is largely responsible for the high butter
prices. In the butter producing season
they buy up great quantities of fresh
creamery butter, paying a high price This
gives them an excuse for asking a high
price for butterine, which they manufact-
ure by mixing this sweet butter with a
beef fat The price Of fresch butter is thus
kept up
In the effort to sell butter at price
which would not limit consumption we
have tried two methods. In the first place.
we advertised our brand extensively in
streetcars and on billboards and tried to
get into direct touch with the hOuSekeep-
ers in that way. but II didn't work. Our
brand acquired a reputa ton, but we found
that the cost of reaching the consumer was
as great as the jobbers profits would have
been. Then we opened a retail store of
our own, but we soon found that the cost
of operating this was enough TO make our
plan impracticable, and we finally aban-
doned the store. In view of these two ex-
periences we have come to feel that there

Is no nrscticaI method In the butter trade
by which the middleman can be done away
with"
II have been in the business for forty
years. said George w Olivit, commission
dealer in vegetables and fruits, and l nave
never yet been able TO see how people can
get along without us commission men
and distributors. 1t is not the middleman
that is getting rich out of the present reign
OF high prices 1t is the railroads.
In support of this assertion Mr. Olivit
showed several bills from the preceding
day which recorded facts of shipment,
freight charges and commissions.
A bill for forty-one baskets Of peas from
North Carolina showed that these sold at
81 25 a basket The commission on the lot
amounted to 81 10. while the freight charges
were s1445 On a consignment Of straw
berries from Virginia that sold for 800
the commission of per cent amounted TO
SIS The freight charge was S45- In an
other consignment three crates of straw
berries sold at SS Ga. The commission
charge was 50 cents and the freight charge
was 80 04. Freight charges on berries from
Florida have reached Is cents a quart, said
Mr.. Olivit He asked: who is getting the
profit in the strawberry trade?"
You do not. then, think the grocer is
getting more profit than he is entitled to
receive" l asked Mr.. Olivit.
We must remember" he said that the
grocer of to-day carries on his business
under conditions very different from those
that confronted the grocer of twenty-five
years ago. Then customer would take
his market basket under his arm and go
to the store ON Saturday for his weeks
provisions. which he would carry home
himself. Nowadays the grocer is frequent
~ called upon to make several trips a day
to the same house to deliver orders. This
makes an enormous increase in his operat-
ing expenses The woman who telephones
several orders a day at different times TO
her provision dealers should understand
that this helps in raising her bills be-
cause it means extra clerk hire, extra
bookkeeping extra teams. extra money
for housing and upkeep of wagons end
horses. The grocer must now make mar
gin of 10 to is per cent profit"
Notwithstanding the apparently uniform
sentiment among commission men that the
present system of distribution is the only
practicable one, it is fact that there has
been a we'll defined movement during the
last few years among food producers in
various parts of the United States to form
organizations or combinations whose oD-
ject is in part to provide surer marketing
conditions for themselves and In part to
do away with at least one intermediary be-
tween themselves and the people who con-
sumo their products.
The California Fruit Growers Exchange.
the Georgia Fruit Exchange and the South
Texas Truck Growers Association are ex-
amples of such organization. Last January
an organization of potato shippers In
Steuben County, N Y, was effected. This

THE DREAM OF YEARS.

Long has il been alluring dream of
the sociologist that the day might some
time come when the middlenlan in his
various guises should be done away with
and the products OF the farm and the
ranch hc brought direct to the consumer.
Mr.. YoakuIn's speech prompts the prac-
teal query, Con this be done?
When one takes count Of the vast guam
atty of food products that reach the city
Of New York in a year, il is easy 20 see
that the task Of distributing this into all
the homes in quantities desired is
hercuiean one. Butter valued at s26, 900, 600
is SEM 10 New York in a twelvemoath. In
the same time between 100000 and 4,0OO,0
barrels OF potatoes and over 100000 bar
relS Of apples come here. The high tide Of
spring production in eggs this year
brought no fewer than 100000 eggs to
New York in single week. The middle
man makes it his business to distribute
this vast quantity of food, and he de-
manis a commission for his time and
labor. The consumer. equally with the
farmer, would like 10 know il the COM
mission is excessive.
The farmer, the commission man and

A CONCRETE INSTANCE.

Suppose an Illinois farmer is paid 10
cents a dozen cash for his eggs by the
storekeeper, or is allowed 20 cents in trade.
The storekeeper is willing to pass them on
TO the shipper at 1872 cents dozen, but he
must be paid also the cost of Grating,
which amounts TO about one cent Dozen
Hence the local shipper must pay the Store
keeper 1912 cents Add to this the shipper S
commission of one cent, and when the eggs
pass out of his hands they are worth 2Ols
cents. When the eggs land in New York
the freight and refrigeration charge has
also been added. In the case Of the Illinois
farmer this amounts to IA cents dozen
Hence these eggs in New York cost 2
cents. yet no one has made heavy margin
of profit.
