DROUTH MAY PUSH
 PRICE OF BUTTER
Pastures, Feed Crops Af' fected By Recent Hot
 Wave

It is probable that consumers will have to pay somewhat higher prices for butter, said the Bureau of Agricultural Economies in Q report on the dairy situation issued today. The drouth, which began to injure the pastures and feed crops in June, has cut down milk production fur- ther during July. Butetr and cheese prices have risen rapidly during the month.
 The trend of butter prices during the remainder of the year will de- pend to Q large extent upon the seriousness of the drouth in affect ing production. Even if tho droutt is broken in the near future, ! seems probable that butter pricei during the last half of 1886 will av. craze higher than in 1885 and tht highest since 1e30, the Bureau said
 On July 1, milk production pei COW was ! per cent below the aver. age for that date. The condition oi pastures is very poor over most ol the country, although in important dairy sections 1t is not yet quit' as bad as 1t was in 1884.
 Storage stocks of butter are low Total stocks of butter and cheese in storage on July were lS per. cent less than a year ago ana apou' the same as the relatively low stocks on that date in 10S4
