WHY BUTTER COMES HIGH
De Ford Files information with
MAGISTRATE Murphy.

The relation that cold storage has 70 the
butter market and TO what extent II is re-
sponsIble for the present famine price OF
eggs are questions that are interesting
William A. De Ford. Assistant District At
torney. on the eve OF his investigation into
the alleged conspiracy in restraint Of trade
on the part Of 40 members OF the New
York Mercantile Exchange.
In his information filed with Magistrate
Murphy. who is 10 hear evidence at series
Of public hearings in the next week or ten
days. Mr. De Ford says that. in his opinion.
the jobbers put butter and eggs into cold
storage during June. July and August
when receipts are the heaviest and that
the prices are the highes, during the cold
weather months. when the net output Of
tho storage is the greatest.
William G. Taber, a member OF the Mer-
camille Exchange. in an affidavit says the
chief reason for the high prices OF butter
this winter are smaller accumulations than
usual Of the sun MGR product. resulting
from the disastrous break in prices during
the late winter and spring OF 1911.
At that time. he says. prices went down
so low that all the substitutes. Of which
oleomargarine and butterine were the most
. important. were driven out OF the market,
and the trade fell back entirely on butter.
Buyers followed the advances OF the fall
and winter to n remarkable degree. eating
ND the fresh receipts and cutting into the
storage stock steadily. he added.
Receipts OF y-eightpound butter pack
ages were greatest in June. 1911, with 81 2i6
packages. The minimum receipts were
~ .79i. I'm January. The biggest stock Of
cold storage butter, 1890 packages was
reported September l last. The smallest
amount was 1900 packages. on June l..
During June. however 1880 packages
were placed in cold storage. followed by
A.. 200 in July and 800 in August During
the period when the input of cold storage
butter exceeded the output the average
nrIce of finest creamery butter was q, 26
and q cents a pound. When the output eK-
ceeded the input the average prices we're 80.
80 and % cents. The greatest apparent out
nut from the New York wholesale market
was go 100 packages, when the price was
20 cents.
The pending investigation of the butter
iobbers did not provoke a downward whole
sale market yesterday. New Yorks best
butter sold at 35 cents on the Mercantile
Exchange, an advance of one cent. Linn
tied receipts were the cause. the dealers de-
clared. Eggs also advanced. The best
quality OF nearby fresh" sold for q cents.
instead of i, the price asked on Friday.
Western eggs, that brought SO cents last
Tuesday, were quoted at 81 cents. and
prices on other grades were proportionately
high at yesterdays closing.
1t was pointed out yesterday that war
rants for the 40 egg and butter dealers
will not be asked for until the investigation
of Mr.. De Fords comes within the juris-
dictIon of Magistrate Murphy. which Will
not he until the magistrate has found prob
able cause of conspiracy at the termina-
ton OF the public hearings.

Trains Air Pilots

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-It is confident
ly believed in the quarters most close
ly interested that the production Of 4
German "aerial navy bill" is certain.
and that the bill and the necessary sup
Elementary estimates will come before
the reichstag in the spring. 1t is stated
on reliable authority that the recon-
mendations Of the German war office
and admiralty include the creation, as a
beginning, Of fleet Of 90 Zeppelin
airships of about 100000 cubic feet
capacity and capable of travelling 81
miles an hour and remaining aloft for
four days and four nights without an
intermediate landing. They are also
TO be capable of carrying and discharg-
ing one ton Of explosives.
Germany Is secretly training air
pilots in large numbers. At the pres
ent moment Great Britain has no NOR"
than IS effective aeroplanes. and at the
lowest estimate Germany has 20. be
sides possessing some $50 more of Old
er types Germany aimed at the be
ginning of this year to possess 400
military aeroplane pilots, and it is said
she possesses nearly this number al
ready. 1t must not be assumed that
they are all Of the first class, but q
large number of them are experienced
cross-country fliers, and many have
experience in the use of bomb dropping
instruments and in the employment Of
guns Of aircraft. Many Of the aero
planes carry wireless apparatus.
SO great is the enthusiasm in Ger
many that the national fund.- started
this year, has already reached a total
of S1,500,O00, showing that previous
patriotic efforts, including the great
Zeppelin fund Of four years ago, have
not exhausted the fatherland. TWO
separate gifts indicate the national
spirit. The Essen electrical works and
the Essen city council each gave S25,-
900. But the gifts range from half 2

mark upward. In Germany there are IS
aeronautical societies and clubs, with
upward Of 10000 members.
The kaiser has given various prizes
and the keynote is always the direct
encouragement Of German brains and
German hands, even though tempor-
airy delay may be incurred thereby, or
in some point there may be inferiority
TO France.
Germany is also far ahead in de
fenses against aircraft. Nearly four
years ago the leading ordnance firms
such as krupps and Ehrhardts brought
out several types Of guns designed and
mounted for high angle fire and pro-
vidcd with special projectiles.
The latest announcement is that the
German ministry of war has ordered
a new military Parscval airship to be
ready next May.

which are being held unlawfully by
private persons. In most instances it
is stated these lands had formerly be-
commons. They We're encroached up
on and occupied by the owners Of vast
estates, and the people Of the villages
to whom they belonged We're thus
brought into poverty stricken condi-
ton.
Much OF this land that the govern
ment has recovered on its own behalf,
as well as for the poor villagers, is
said to be very valuable. All of the
recovered tracts are to be proportioned
among the poorer classes.
II is stated that this 6O,000,000 acres
which has already been recovered is
only part Of the total area that will
I finally be taken away from unlawful
occupants. 1t is also stated that there
are vast areas Of land belonging to the
