Chicago Butter Prices Reach
High Water Mark.
It's Workingmen's Wives Who
Buy the Real Butter.

Chicago. Jan. 1.-Butter prices last
year were higher than they ever were
before the armistice was signed. The
the war time period was 671a cents
wholesale, while ~ cents has been
reached this fall and the present cost
is 10 cents. This brings the retail cost
to 80 cents.
Dealers estimate that people in the
Chicago district use about per cent
butterine % per cent storage butter
and II per cent of the strictly fresh
product.
aThey have lots of money it seems y.
said M. L. Friedman, vice president of
a wholesale butter and poultry com
pany. They buy very little butterine
and not much storage butter tho the
finest June butter from the coolers
costs almost 10 cents per pound less
Most of the storage butter goes to
Europe"
"You hear a lot about the high cost
of living" w. S. Moore, another
dealer. said, but when the working
mans wife goes shopping she will not
buy anything but the best"
England's food ministry and Bel
GUM are the largest butter customers
of this country, tho Sweden, Norway,
Italy and Switzerland are also on the
list. the wholesalers say and about
100000 pounds have already been
sent overseas this season and 10000
900 more will be sent.
There are more than 100000
pounds in Chicago's storage coolers at
present and half or more than half OF
| this is the property of foreign govern
ments or companies, according to esti-
mates.
| AS nearly as experts can figure it,
| Chicago uses 100000 pounds weekly.
| Most of the fresh butter shipped
here comes from Iowa, Nebraska and
Minnesota. 1t totals a quarter of a
| million pounds daily.

The problem of bonuses is one of the
most perplexing before congress. There
is no desire on the part of members of
congress to refuse such legislation. but
the present objection is solely one of
lack of money.
The bonus question takes its place
along with two other unsettled diff

without action what to do in the case
of foreign loans. Treasury officials
have urged that interest on the $4,000

shall not be collected for three years
and that the. notes be refunded into
