agures, OH July 1 there were II, 224, 900
a1nore pounds of butter held in cold

as % cents, the prices quoted We'd
zlesday reached As cents a pound in
prints to the retail trade.
eff prices on butter and eggs do
gaot stop advancing" said one butter
1gaan in Chicago, "they will reach the
DOint where the demand will fall low
var than Ii ever has been. Already but,
a1er substitutes are cutting into the
cream butter trade and, with falling
wages and salaries, real butter con-
sumption will drop to an alarming
degree. There is another danger to
the American trade in these mounting
prices, and that is foreign competition
when domestic prices reach a GER
Stain figure Danish and Dutch butter
ran be marketed in this country be
Ipw local figures"
Reason given by dealers for increas-
ing prices include unusually hot wea-
&tner, burned pastures and consequent
decreased production. The egg pro
auction. however, is said to be keep
ing up well. desuite the fact that
gDrices have advanced around 20
