"The worst of all this recent increase Ir the cost of butter, she told the reporter that it seem?, to be unwarranted. There Was a fanner s wife from Connecticut who talked to me this morning, saying she could sell butter at ?S cents a pound, with a fair myricin of profit. Now. if an Individual vornan can do that, surely the big whole? sale producers with all their equipment ?oui?] tlo It, too." Many Want to Co-operate. AmoiiK th< many who assured Mrs. Heath ycstei.lay of their co-operation was Mrs Simon Baruch, a prominent clubwom? an. She had paid IT cents a pound mon? f : butter this week than ahe did last, and she proposed to be imposed upon no longer She promised to agitate the matter In every club to which she belongs, an? that i las?me atitation." a? the vulgar-tonguedJ ? would ?ay, for the list of HtS.

BUTTER BOYCOTT GROWS i Wholesale Firms Talk of 400, 000,000 Pounds Shortage. The boycott against butter Induced by the 'xorbitant prices asked for that com? modity continued to grow yesterday, and a> it was Saturday, when much household marketing Is done, the falling off in pur? chssec was noticeable and in many in? stance? alarming to the retell dealers of the city. K. K. .Martin, pre,?.lent of the Mercantile I Alliance, one of the large wholesale ot - fanisatteas, said yesterday that a bovcott Sgslnsl butter was a tiling highly desirable to the wholesale dealers. The supply on hand, ho said, is all but exhausted, and It would be merely a quest Ion of time before the public would be forced to strike the word "butler" from the menu if the gen? eral movement against Its use had not been started. s um mint: up the ?ifuntlon briefly, Mr. Martin said the wholesalers were faring a ?tno.ftno.OiM.-pound shortage, with no re? lief in sight for three months, which means that toy the last of Mar? h people will be paving ?.". cents a pound If they are gg fortunate as to be able actually to And any in the markets. The retail dealers, however, took a more Optimistic Vlgn of the situation. Butter ?us one cent lower in price yesterday, the best made sellinr over the counter at 49 cents a pound, four cents below the figure Sf-kfd earlier In the week. The dealers seemed to be of the opinion that the height of the hoom had passed, and while butter would probably remain at ? prie? high, 'enough to cause it to be classed as a luxut; untii warmer weather set In. they did not share the vleWI expressed m wholesale circles that a butter famine was Imminent. That natural conditions ware the princi? pal reasons for the shortage was the popu? lar view held by the retail ?Aealers. al ! though some Intimated that a government ?investigation Into the prex-eed?U?K of th I large wholesale butter Interests might ha\> a tendency to relieve th? eituation some? what. The wholesale pri?e in Chicago, where the proceedings against the Chicago Butter and Kgg Board have been Institut tat, was os cents yesterday, but whether ? widespread movement of a, t-imilar nstnr would tend to reduce the cost In the Esst was a question the dialers could not an? swer. Next to the public, the persons seemingly the hardest hit by the increased price? ai? the dealers who make a practice of supply? ing lar^e hotels and restaurant? with but? ter at a fixed price throughout the wintei. In some . a?es the\ ar> not able to obtain a supply M?teteat to fulfil their contracts, and when they are abb? to meet their obli? gations it is often at a financial loss to themselves c. ir. Vannetnan, who is a^soi iatni with We of the large retail ?ltms. Mid If th?* I people came to regard th?- matter serious!] slid took a de, ided stand against the SM of butter the dealers would be materially affected an?l the price lowered to a mere reasonable amount. This differs toa cOfliM? ?rable <\tent from th* vlewi of the whole? sale dealers, that butter i? about ss scares I as "hens' teeth" and therefore likely to rise In value accordingly.
