Dairymen’s League and Milk Prices 
’]’he full board of the Dairymen’s 
League met in the.City of New ork 
last week and a/ter a very full and 
rather protracted Meeting of the hoard, 
and full discussion of the whole situa¬ 
tion. tlu'y agreed to revise the sc-hedule 
of prices originally put out for the next 
six months as published in The Rx'RAL 
New-Yorker iind other papers last week. 
The general iiuderstaiidiug with the deal¬ 
ers was to the effect that they would 
ptiy the new schedule of prices without 
futher jirotest. This schedule is as fol¬ 
lows :

.‘D^e per 100 lbs. for each 1-10 point 
hutterfat to be added. (-Jrade A milk 
1,5c added. Grade B milk based on 5,5 
bam .score. 
G milk, however, can only be used for 
maiiufacturiiig purposes. It cannot be 
used for consumptiou, and contrary to 
the contention of a good many dealers O 
milk when pasteurized does not become 
B milk. Fnder the regulations it can¬ 
not he used for consumption at all, and 
if it is used the producers .should insist 
ui)on B grading and B prices. 
The new schedule reduces the first 
schedule on April, May, .Tune and July, 
iind increases the price for August hut 
September is the same. The average is 
4i/^c a hundred for the six months less 
than the regular schedule, but it is yet 
a very substantial advance over the 
prices of the same period last year. It 
is a larger increase over last year’s Sum¬ 
mer jiriees than the "Wiuter .schedule 
wiis over the previous Winter prices. 
The price of A milk per hundred is in¬ 
creased 5e a hundred and the price of 
extra hutterfat is now 3%c per hun¬ 
dred in place of the 3c previously paid. 
The full board of directors of the 
TiOague unanimously and promptly en¬ 
dorsed the Tow’uer-Smith bill now before 
the liCgislature. This was an approval 
of the formal endorsement of the bill by 
the Executive Committee. The local 
branches of the League have also been 
requested to use their influence to further 
this bill, which simply asks an appropria¬ 
tion to build a milk market and pasteur¬ 
izing plant in the City of New York. The 
purpose of this is to give a kindergarten 
demonstration of the method and cost of 
distributing milk by putting the pro¬ 
ducer and the consumer closer together. 
There are also very many farmers who 
would like to sell their milk and keep the 
skimmed milk home to raise calves and 
cows for future production, and this plan 
would give them an opportunity to d() so. 
Of course there will be big opposition 
to the bill. It will be a triumph for the 
people, both producers and consumers. If 
it can be secured. Every farmer should 
stee that both his representatives in Al¬ 
bany know that he wants this bill passed. 
It is to the farmer the most important 
bill now at Albany, first, because of its 
influence on the sale or milk, and second 
because of the principle involved. In a 
partial canvass of the Senate last week 
the following Senators announced them¬ 
selves emphatically in favor of the bill. 
Senator Salvatore A. Cottello, New 
York. N. y. 
Ty-kL T T^/yttIoyi 1 civlr. 
N. Y. 
Senator James A. Towner, Towners, 
Senator Robert F. Wagner, New York, 
N. Y. 
Senator James A. Emerson, WaiTcu.s- 
burgh, N. y. 
Senator Ross Craves. Buffalo, N. Y. 
T__ T\T 
Some of the Senators were non¬ 
committal. requirng further time to study 
it. The.se were: 
Senator Thomas H. Cullen. Brooklyn, 
N. Y. 
Senator James A. Foley. New York, 
N. Y. 
Senator Leonard W. H. Gibbs. Buffalo, 
N. Y. 
Senator Morris S. Halliday. Ithaca, 
N. Y. 
Senator Theodore Douglas Robinson, 
Mohawk, N. Y. 
Senator .Tohii V. Sheridan, New York, 
N. Y. 
Senator Samuel .T. Ramsberger, Buf¬ 
falo. N. Y. 
Senator Alfred ,T. Gilchrist, Brooklyn, 
N. Y. 
Senator Henry W. Sage, Albany, N. Y. 
Senator Alvah W. Burlingame, Brook¬ 
lyn. N. Y. 
Senator George A. Slater, Port ( hes- 
ter, N. Y’^. 
Most of the Senators who refuse to go 
on record po.sitively say they have not 
studied the bill and will do so. Only one 
says “careful consideration,” which is a 
good sign. Several say they attended the 
hearing on the Wicks bill, and were much 
impressed by what the dairymen said and 
did. Some of tlie city Senators consider 
the IVieks bill dead and will vote for the 
Towner bill as substitute and trial of a 
new plan. Every Senator for the rural 
counties admits having received letters 
from farmers favoring the bill and these 
are being shown to other Senators. They 
make the most efi'ective arguments for the 
bill. The consumers in the large cities 
can help with such letters. In fact the 
whole thing now depends upon the num¬ 
ber and power of these letters from pro¬ 
ducers and consumers. 
Boston Produce Markets 
(Continued from page 486) 
mai'ket is up about one cent with a quo¬ 
tation of 40c for finest strictly extras; 
only a small per cent, of butter receipts 
are extr:is. The fresh make for the 
most part, both from West and North, 
is classed first.s or seconds. Storage but¬ 
ter is pretty well cleaned up. Storage 
in Boston will be nearly gone by the first 
of the month at present rate of consump¬ 
tion, which is 20 per cent, less than last 
year, yet about 10.000 packages are go¬ 
ing out weekly. Receipts, so far, indicate 
that the new make will be about the samo 
in quantity as last year. Boston is one 
of the lowest markets, hence there is 
small chance of dealers buying outside, 
rather New Y^'ork is likely to come in 
and take our goods. Cheese is up to 20c, 
although the export trade has been 
checked.” 
EtiG STTPl’EY UREUAL. 
After the railroad strike was called 
off, there were liberal receipts of delayed 
egg shipments, but under the circum¬ 
stances, the market has behaved well ow¬ 
ing to the brisk demand. The. market 
seems to be settling upon a Spring basis 
considerably above the price level of last 
year. Said a South Market Street re¬ 
ceiver: “Receipts are coming freely, but 
consumption is good, eggs are cheaj) com- 
ptired with other food. Some stoi'age 
packed eggs Inive been selling at 28^/4 
to 29e as compared with earlier specula¬ 
tive sales of 26 to 27c, iudicatiug that 
the actual market is running higher than 
the general trade anticipated. Apparent¬ 
ly eggs are going to storage five or six 
cents higher than last yetir’s basis, which 
itself looked dangerously high to deal¬ 
ers last year, but everybody seems_ to 
have been aoeustomed to extreme pric<'s 
by tills time, and the storage people seem 
ready to buy liberally when they regard 
the market iis settled.” Said another re¬ 
ceiver : “IVe look for a slight bulge in 
the marl'-et upward, preceding Eastrr. 
hut it luobahly will not amount to much. 
Duck and goose eggs for Easter market 
.should arrive early in the month. IVe 
look for duck eggs to sell at 40 to 50c 
per doz. and goose eggs at .$1 or more.”

rOUETRY DUEL BUT STRONG. 
Demand for dressed poultry is cheeked 
by the high prices, and receipts being 
light compared with the little business 
that is being done. The market main¬ 
tains a steady tone while live poultry 
has tended higher. Receipts are mostly 
fowls with very limited quantities of 
held-over chickens and a few early broil¬ 
ers. According to S. D. Burr & Co.: 
“lieceipts are lighter and the market 
firm on fresh killed stock. Frozen poul¬ 
try is harder to sell. Fresh killed native 
fowls bring 2.5c for choice and 21 to 22c 
for fair. Most e.hiekens coming are 
staggy. not worth over 20c. 'Soft-meated 
chickens sell at 25 to .30c. The few 
broilers are in the market at 30 to 35c 
per lb. .\mos Keyes & Son quote live 
fowl at 23e with some choice lots bring¬ 
ing 24c. They observe: “Nice Spring 
broilers, li/^ to 2 lbs., are worth 28 to 
30e. but are very scarce as yet. A North¬ 
ern shipper consigned us a big turkey 
gobbler, which sold at 25c per lb. Pul¬ 
lets sell now about the same as dresshig 
stock. The .Tewish holidays, April 7th 
to Sth. will demand considerable live 
poiiltrv from April 2 to 5. The next 
holidays. April 13 to 14th. will call for 
poultry. April 0 to 12. and the Feast 
of Weeks. Mav 27th. calls for fowls, etc. 
from May 2l‘ to 25th. These holidays 
all crearc extra demand for live fowls, 
ducks and chickens. G- b. f.
