HOARD OF BUTTER.
More Than $1,000, 600 Pounds stored
in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Although Chicago
housewives have been paying midwin-
ter prices for butter and a further adj
vance is expected there are more than
$1,000, 600 pounds of the product in
cold storage, according to the report
today of the warehousemen's associa-
ton. This is 100000 pounds more
than the reserve q Year ago.
A half cent increase yesterday made
the price IS L. cents to jobbers and an
other advance of 1 cent was predicted
for today. Prices to consumers range
from 30 to So cents, according to To-
cation
Jobbers attribute the high prices
and enormous cold storage stocks to
the warfare between the Chicago and
EIgin butter boards Butter jobbers
have been in the habit of contracting
in advance for butter, to be delivered
during the season of greatest produc-
ton on a basis of Elgin prices. This
year Elgin quotations have been rela-
lively higher than prices at any of the
leading markets of the nation. Job
hers have been purchasing more but
ter than they could sell and have been
forced to place their purchases in stor-
age awaiting a higher market.
There has been an unusually heavy
production of butter and SO much of
it has gone into storage that jobbers
anticipate a crash if there is a mild

BRADY'S GREAT WEALTH
Estimates Place Estate on a Par With
MOr0anS.


New York. Aug. 6.-A1though the
provisions of the will of the late An
tllony NJ. Brady have given no indl-
cation of the size of his estate, unoffi-
cial estimates are published here to-
day placing Mr.. Bradys wealth prac-
tically on a par with that of the late
J. P Morgan. A former financial adj
wiser to Mr.. Brady is quoted as placing
his estate at SIS, 900, 900 as a minimum
estimate and as adding that it might
prove to be in excess of 500 coo. 600. a
recent report by a state transfer tax
attorney made a semi-official estimate
of Mr.. Morgans estate at the same
aggregate figure 1G0,000,O00. Mr. Nor
gan filed a so much greater place in
the public eye, however, than Mr..
Brady or many others of great wealth
that the reports of the Brady fortune
being on a par with that of Mr.. Nor
gan have occasioned surprise even in
Wall street where ne was best known
Mr.. Brady's investments lacked the
transient factor which made Mr.. Nor
gan's wealth so well known. 1t is said
that he made over $40. O00. 900 in tobacco
alone. His holdings of Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stock amounted to about S.
900 goo in round figures. In Tennessee
and Georgia Power properties he is said
to have had investments worth 10000
900 and during the last few years he
had put between S6.000,00O and $1,000
coo into japanese lighting plants
