WILSON SCHEME TO FIND
REASON FOR ADVANCES

washington, Jan. l9.-Secretary
Wilson, commenting today on the
declaration of New York wholesalers
that the price of butter soon would
be 60 cents pound, because of a
shortage of the supply, said that if
cold storage dealers were required to
make monthly reports to the depart
ment of agriculture as TO how much
butter, eggs, mutton, fish, etc. they
had on hand, it would be possible to
ascertain whether there really was
a scarcity and whether there was
good reason for advanced prices.
