Butter Situation Unique.

The situation regarding butter is
unique Last year, because OF the ne"
tariff butter sold wholesale compare
lively low, because of the cheap foreign
butter which was being imported Be
cause of this and because of the TACT
that many of the big wholesalers had
mammoth amounts left on their hands.
the butter industry thlS year looh d
slump in this country.
For some reason-a number Of the
dealers attribute it to the fact that
the country is prosperous and all class
es of people are eating hutter-the
demand on butter has been greater at
the present time this year than it has
ever been before at Il similar season.
At the same time, the war abroad has
stopped the importation-if not the
manufacture-of this commodity, and
prices are now on the verge of soaring
skyward again. 1t is now selling from
81 to 40 cents a pound.
Meat prices are affected. say the To-
cal dealers, because meat raising will
be at a standstill in Europe, large
amounts will be consumed there and
this country will be called on largely
to supply the demand. The dealers be
lieve Germany will be about the only
country cut off from Importation. This
is an excellent time, some of them
point out for American dealers to get
part of the meat commerce of South
America. if ships are available.
War Stops Cultivation.
The war will draw thousands of men
away from the cultivation Of the sugar
beet. In addition to this there has
been a drought throughout the West
Indies and it is estimated that the
beet crop of this country will fall off
about 10000 tons this year.
One of the largest sugar refining COM
panies in the country today advanced the
price of sugar to 5l2 cents pound. Two
other large companies have Withdrawn
from the market. a cable from Honolulu
big advance One of the refining com
panes on the Pacific coast has put the
price up to $3.50 per hunderd pounds.
Sugar prices always advance with the
coming of the preserving season. but the
advance this year is expected to be
greater than ever.
Eggs are to ascend again, due not to
the war however. Hens have started to
shed, and this means they have stopped
laying. This may mean. however, slight
ly lower prices during the winter months.
Present prices are ranging from ~ to %
cents a dozen.
1t is declared that the rise in the price
of one commodity will have indirect
tendency to lift the prices of other com
modities. This may be Offset somewhat,
however by the fact that number of
articles of wear. furniture and similar
things is expected to be lowered 1t is
anticit,ated also, that home manufacture
MAY take d boom il the war continues
for a long time.

Pythian castle, which were directly in

aided in the work. All the plate glass
