SEES EIGHT CENT MILK.
Commissions Dillon Urges Support Of
Towner- Smith Bill.

New York. March 3O.-John J. Dillon,
commissioner of the state department
of foods and markets, has issued cir
cular in which he appealed to the pub
lie for support OF the Towner-Smith
bill. now before the legislature, on the
ground that its passage would mean
milk for city cagasspmers at s and .
cents d quart. The circular said In part:
Farmers are getting about ~ cents a
quart for milk. Consumers pay IL cents a
quart to the dealers. The cost Of delivery
is 6ls cents a quart The. dealers have re-
Gently threatened to increase again tha
cost to the consumers unless the farmers
consent to sell milk for less than the cost
OF production. ~.
To sell milk at cents a quart we must
have a pasteurizing and bottling plant in
the city. If the Towner-Smith bill be-
comes a law the department Of foods ard
markets will establish q plant at once and
deliver milk to your door ats cents quart.

TIME TO SPEAK

TIME TO SPEAK
There is an urgent duty for every
American citizen to attend to with
out a moments delay. That duty is
the sending of a telegram to Presl-
dent Wilson and to congress. through
Congressman Scu1ly. asking them to
make positive stand against Ger
many to preserve our national safety
and honor.
The warning has been sent out by
the American Defense League, the
American Rights League, and the
Businessmen's National Service
League. calling attention to the fact
that pro-Germans and pacifists are
straining every nerve for peace 1T
any price. This warning is for the
purpose of bestirring every patriotic
citizen to do his duty and show the
President and congress the real atti-
tude of. the nation.
Those who clamor for submission
in the form Of peace do not speak
the voice of the American people.
The noise they make should not be
allowed to confuse the issue or in
cline the President or congress to
falter in the path which honor and
justice points out.
We are not unmindful of the fact
that it Is possible to honestly dis
agree on this matter, and there are,
no doubt, sincere pacifists who be-
lieve it would be grave mistake for
the United States to get into the war.
But we believe that such an agitation
as they are carrying on at this time
means only aid and comfort to q de-
clared enemy.
There is limit to all endurance
and with indignities and insults heap
ed upon us, we do not see how the
United States can possibly longer
ignore the situation.
Germany has. to all intents and
purposes, made war upon the United
States. She has heaped indignities
upon our duly credited representa-
tives to her country; she has broken
her treaties with us; she has sent our
ships to the bottom and she has
murdered American citizens; she has
declared that she intends to keep up
this policy, come what may
Further than that. she has COM
mitted outrages against humanity
that no civilized nation should coun-
tenance. The Belgians she has driven
into slavery; the wanton destruction
left In the wake OF the retreating
German armies, in France tell their
own story, and, worst of all, girls If
fifteen years of age and over have
been carried off. If there Is any red
blood left In American veins it must
be aroused at such atrocities. We
have a duty to humanity as well as 20
ourselves to fulfill.
When our children come Of age
and when our children's children
read history, they should never have
cause to blush In shame that the
United States of America quietly .suh=
naitted to such things and-ea4mly
counted its gold while the world was
passing through the greatest crisis
of the ages. The United States has
a great reputation to uphold and it
must be handed down to posterity
unsulIied.
When congress meets on Monday
the President should have behind him
the real sentiment of the American
people demanding the uphoiding of
American rights and honor. In or
der that this sentiment may be clear
iy expressed. a telegram should be
sent forthwith to both the President
and congress.

BUTTER HIGH FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR
Creamery Men Expect Prices
to Drop Somewhat in a
Short Time, Says
Kirschbaum.

In Omaha No. ! creamery butter is
selling at Al cents pound, wholesale.
This is the highest price ever attained
at this season OF the year. Even at
this price, the same grade of butter
is 2 cents cheaper than in Chicago.
The boost in butter prices is going
to be short lived, in the opinion of
the Kirschbaum creamery. Prices
are going to drop off within a few
days, according to Mr.. Kirschbaum
Speaking Of present conditions, he
said:
while it is not likely to go down
to the prices of several years ago,
there will be decline in short time.
The high prices now are due to the
demand being in excess of the supply.
Butter is commodity the price Of
which is regulated almost entirely by
the supply and the demand.
Spring Backward.
"The spring mas been cold and
backward and the pasturage is much
later than usual. As result, cows
are not giving the normal quantity of
milk for this season of the year, and
consequently farmers are not getting
the normal quantity of cream. AS
soon a. this quantity reaches normal,
then the cream will commence to ar
rive at the creameries. The butter
stocks will increase and prices are GER
tain to decline. &c.,.
1--WE don't look for any low prices
during the coming summer, nor do
we anticipate that prices are going to
be abnormally high. The number of
cows in the country is probably the
same as last year. and with a favor
able season, the supply Of butter
should be about normal.
There is nothing to indicate a
heavy export demand, owing to the
war. This will cut down foreign sales.
but at home they are going to eat
butter in about the same quantities
as during past summers"

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Trading In Pit Shows Decided Weakness
During Day After Opening Strong.

Chicago, May 2s.-Grain prices today de-
veloped material weakness after an earlier
show Of strength. The short interest had
been greatly reduced while the temporary
bulge was in progress. When longs at
tempted to unload further they found but
little demand. The wheat market depended
largely on the action Of coarse grain. and
was unsettled at the finish, with July az
S2.03 and September at s1.s3h. Corn closed
&c to AVG down and oats off Nc to INC.
In provisions the outcome was an advance
OF 42e to s5c.
Bearish influences, which had an inde-
pendent effect on wheat were chiefly favor
able crop reports. A leading expert sent
word that continued cool, showery weather
was bringing out the Kansas crop wonder
fully, and that yields were likely 70 be
much larger than had been expected. An
estimate also was furnished that the MIS-
souri, crop would be four and a half million
bushels larger than in 1915. with Idaho.
Oregon and Washington also increased
5000, 900 bushels.
Trade In corn was large. especially while
shorts were covering on a sharp reaction
from yesterdays big break in prices. Unea-
pected scantiness Of offerings from the coun.
try had caused temporary anxiety on the
part Of shorts. Crop prospects remained
good and shipping demand slow. Oats
swayed with corn. Assertions of revivai
In export call were not confirmed, Foreign
Inquiries for offers Of meats and lard had
much to do with the advance In provisions.
Offerings were light.

GRAIN And PRODUCE
Cash Grain Trade is Dull, With
Wheat Prices Lower Than
Those Prevailing on
Monday.



Todays trade In cash grains was duiier
than 1t has been for some time and while
the receipts OF all grains were extremely
light the demand was very slow and there
was hardly enough stuff sold to give a
definite idea of the range of prices al
though the whole list, with the exception
OF oats. was substantially lower. A few
cars OF No. 2 hard wheat were sold at q
late hour and brought from 32.70 to sara
giving an approximate range Of 3@4c lower
on this grade Of wheat. while one sale Of
No. hard was made at Sass. but this
stuff was very poor in quality and the
ordinary samples of this grade would prob
ally be worth considerably more than THU
price.
Tho corn market generally was quoted
about 1c under yesterdays market and the
bulk of the offerings sold on the decline.
Almost all of the sales OF the better grades
OF corn were made at ti.510f.b1h, but.
quality considered. the yellow sold at
small premium over the white and mixed.
some of the No. yellow selling at r.blh.
while the No. Q grade of white and mixed
corn sold from s1.blG1.51h.
Oats sold fairly readily at practically
unchanged prices. but one sale of No. .
white was made1at a one-fourth cent ad-
vance. This car. however. was better than
the ordinary run of stuff.
Rye and barley were quiet with light
offerings, and these markets. were quoted
nomnally unchanged.
Clearances were: Wheat and flour equal
to 235, 900 bushels: oats, $4,000 bushels.
Primary wheat receipts were 754.o BUSH
els no shipments. (hoIiday). against receipts
of $4,000 bushels, and no shipments. (holi-
