BUTTER BOYCOTT GROWS
Wholesale Firms Talk of 400,
100000 Pounds Shortage.

! The boycott against butter induced by
! the exorbitant prices asked for that com
modify continued TO grow yesterday, ana
| as it was Saturday, when much household
marketing is done, the falling off in pur-
chases was noticeable and in many in
stances alarming to the retail dealers OF
| the city.
| T. r. Martin. president OF the Mercantile
| Exchange. one of the large wholesale or
CARNATIONS. said yesterday that boycott
against butter was thing highly desirable
to the wholesale dealers. The supply on
hand he said, is all but exhausted, and II
would be merely question of time before
the public would be forced 30 strike the
word butter" from the menu if the gem
eral movement against Its use had not been
started.
Summing up the situation briefly. Mr.
Martin said the wholesalers were facing
400, 900, 000-pound shortage, with no re-
| lief in sight for three months. which means
that by the last of March people will be
paying So cents pound II they are so
fortunate az TO be able actually 10 find any
| in the markets.
The retail dealers however. took more
optimistic view Of the situation. Butter
was one cent lower in price yesterday. tic
best made selling over the counter at ~
cents a pound, four cents below the figure
asked earlier in the week. The dealers
seemed TO be Of the opinion that the height
of the boom had passed. and while butter
would probably remain at a price high
enough to cause il to be classed as luxury
until warmer weather set in, they did
not share the views expressed in wholesale
circles that butter famine was imminent
That natural conditions we're the princi-
pal reasons for the shortage was the popu-
lar view held by the retail dealers al
though some intlmsted that government
| investigation into the proceedings OF the
large wholesale butter interests might nave

was IS cents yesterday. but whether a
widespread movement Of a similar nature
would tend TO reduce the cost In the East
was a question the dealers could not an
swer.
! Next to the public the persons seemingly
| the hardest hit by the increased prices are
| the dealers who make a practice OF supply
| ing large hotels and restaurants with but
ter at a hxed price throughout the winter.
In some csscs they are not able to obtain
supply sufficient TO fulfil their contracts,
and when they are able TO meet their obi
cations it is often at a financial loss 10
themselves.

one Of the large retail firms. said II the
people came to regard the matter seriously
and took a decided stand against the use
Of butter the dealers would be materially
affected and the price lowered 10 more

cradle extent from the views Of the whole

of the Seattle club in the Northwest

management of the La Grande club
in the Western Tri-State league. The
contract between Mr.. Barry and the

OF a careful scrutiny of the North

rvs face loomed the most portentious
and most accessible. The veteran
manager comes from Seattle to take

yet to be ferreted out by Mr.. Barry
he knows nothing of the local condi-

he will wade into the momentuous
task as rapidly as possible and this
afternoon will get his first taste of

address. Among other things he said:

persons calling for mail at general de-
livery windows of city postoffices do
so for Illicit purposes, and large
proportion of them give fictitious
names. The general delivery privilege
Is becoming an instrument for the
furthering of immortality which the
postmasters of New York should
check to the fullest possible degree.
We all know that the general delivery
privileges are very greatly abused. It
is our duty to check to the fullest de-
gree, even if we cannot prevent en-
tirely, young men and women and
even adults from using the general
delivery to advance immortality
1.-TWO decided improvements which
this association has discussed and
urged have been authorized during
the last six months. / refer to the
present certification of three names
