FILE STORAGE HOUSES WITH BUTTER AND EGGS
Never Such Quantities Laid by For Future Use at This Time Of the Yesr-
&c. interest and Expenses Pilng Up-Bis CHARGES For Users to
Meet Next Winter Promise the Highest Of Prices.

The phenomenon of Increased.
quantities Of butter and eggs in stor-
age with higher prices in the market
is causing much talk among the
wholesale dealers on the west side.
The explanation offered by some of
their number is that Western pack
ing companies made contracts earlier
in the year to take the butter and
eggs from the farmers 1T high prices,
ard so they were compelled to main
tain prices to protect themselves from
losses. Ii the current receipts of the
products were now offered for imme-
diate consumption prices wouA drop,
and so most Of the eggs and butter
coming here OF late has gone into
storage.
One of the wholesale dealers said
that the packing companies may also
have as an object in keeping up
prices Of butter that people may get
the habit of using olsomargarine as a
substitute. While butter was at its
highest retail prices last winter much
more olcomargariRe was sold than
ever before in this country.
Dealers said that they do not see
any reason for expecting a reduction
this year in the cost Of living in the
items of butter and eggs.

One of the mostdesperate attempts
on record to influence the stock mar

pleased in South and Central Ameri-
can affairs.

The report was SO speedily and SO au-
t~noritatively exposed that but little
damage was done, but it is quite pos
sible that the Federal authorities will
proceed against those responsible for
this last rash and stop-at-nothing cf-
fort at stock iobbing, with its mis-
chievous possibility of stirring UP en-
nifty between two friendly nations.
Washington bankers believe that
the temporary depression of securi-
ties is due to a misinterpretation Of
the Governments attitude toward the

New York City.-Butter and eggs
are o stored in the warehouses OF
New York and vicinity in greater
quantities than ever before at this
time of year. Last years figures on
storage and prices made high records
up to that time, but they are exceed
ed by the totals of the present month
Butter is now higher than it has been
in July Of any other. year since the
Civil War times.
The figures were contained in a re-
'rort completed from twenty-nine OF
the thirty-two food warehouses in the
metropolitan district. This report
shows that 2,234,O00 cases, each con-
tanning thirty dozens of eggs, are now
in storage, while a year ago the total
was 1,9i1,000 cases. Never before
has the total in these warehouses eI-
ceeded 100000 cases in July.
Receipts Of eggs have not been
greatly in excess of those of last year,
so some of the dealers infer that a
speculative movement has something
to do with the conditions. The re-
ceipts for the last two months have
been 2,417,0O0 cases, while in the
same two months Of last year $780,
600 cases were received. The storage
Of eggs began in April.
The best grades of eggs going into
storage are quoted at twenty-three
cents a dozen in car lots. They are
Western eggs, and two ears ago SIM
liar grades were sold at eighteen
cents. Fresh Eastern eggs, which
are now quoted at twenty-four to
twenty-seven cents a dozen in the
wholesale markets, We're sold for
twenty-five cents a year ago.
All the egg prices will be Increased,
the dealers say, by the warehouse
expenses, interest charges and proht
when the eggs are taken from the
warehouses for consumption next fall
and winter.
The total amount of butter now In
storage in the metropolitan district
warehouses is placed at S3,S2O,oOo
pounds. A year ago the total was
23,7SS,OO pounds. The receipts OF
butter in the last two months have
amounted to $4,000 tubs OF sixty
hounds each; last years total receipts
in the two months was $4,000 TUBS.
The best grades of butter, called
Specials were quoted at wenis
nine and a quarter cents Whoiesaie,
which is. two and th~ree-quarter cents
a pound more than a year ago.

New York City.-Emphasizing the
basic soundness of the prosperity OF
the United States, despite the depres-
sion of stock prices through artificial
courses, the Herald prints interviews
with leading bankers and business
men of the country.
In a special cable from Carlsbad
Jules S. Bache expresses the belief
that the recent market depression
was caused by disappointed railroad
veterans as a protest against the
new railroad law. Henry G. Ickel-
heirner agrees. with Mr.. Bache that
intrinsic values have been enhanced
rather than depressed, and John F.
Carroll 5oins Mr.. Bache looking for
ward for results that will benefit the
country.
Pbstmaster-General Hitchcock sees
in the reduction OF the deficit of the
Postoflce Department to the extent Of
$4,000, 900, involving an immensely
increased volume of postal business,
an indlsputable evidence of the fun
damental strength Of the nations
finances. He also points optimisti-
cally to the hopeful outlook and
bountiful crops in the West and
Northwest.

prices for cotton sold on the local
market. 1t is a body made up entire

work are furnished by them. They

tations. The cotton marketed last
year as a result amounted to far
