BUTTER HAD TO DROP TO
STOP BUYING OF OLEO

Elgin. H., March Sd. s Pearsall, a
member of the Elgin board of trade, to-
day denied that the plan to investigate
high prices Of living had anything to do
with the action of the Elgin board In
reducing the price of butter.
Butter prices" said Mr. Pearsall
"had hecome 50 high that the average
citizen was unable to buy butter, and
this class of buyers turned to oleonar-
garine High prices created surplus
I'm the butter supply which had to be
sold The only way to sell IT was to
lower the price When the board re-
duced the cost from 80 cents to 80 cents a
pound the commodity again came within
reach of the ordinary buyer"
Joseph Newman: another butter deal
er, corroborated Mr., Pearsal. Mr.. New
man said The Senate committee points
toward Elgin. Why not look towards
New York? During the period Of a week
or ten days when the change took place
in the Elgin board prices the eastern
market was lowered from 81 to 80 cents, "A
drop of seven cents while the Elgin
board dropped ii six cents"

BANK HOPELESSLY INSOLVENT

Calais, Me. March 9.-The St. Stephen
bank which failed on Monday will not be
reopened. but will be liquida ted as rapid
~ as its tangled affairs will permit The
failure Of the bank was directly respon-
sible for the assignment yesterday of c.
G. Whitlock a Calais grocer, for si5 90.
The bank carried deposits of nearly $i00
600. The total liabilities are estimated
at SsNo,0OO. In addition the stockholders
are liable to an assessment of 100 per
cent. The failure is attributed to unprof-
table loans to gold mining companies
and to the competition of large banks.
