AR, e . A 0 L R U o s VALUE OF MILK NOT APPRECIATED IN THIS CITY, IS STORR’S REPORT Per Capita Used in New Britain Less Than Any Other City in the State. A report of the marketing of milk| in the city of New Britain has been prepared by Robert F. Belden under the direction of 1. G. Davis, who is in charge of the extension work in marketing at Storrs college. The report includes the results of a survey conducted during the months of February, March and April, 1921, by the department of marketing of the Connecticut Agricultural college ex- tension service It is based upon facts obtained from personal inter- views with the dealers and from questionnaires sent to 170 milk pro- ducers in the area supplying the milk to New Britain. The average supply of whole milk received by New Britain dealers dur-, ing February and March was 17,320 quarts which originated ut points from | 2 to 80 miles apart. Of this amount #7.5 per cent. was produced within twelve miles of New Britain. New Britain receives its largest amount of | milk from Berlin and Newington. | Within the city of New Britain only 485 quarts are produced. One town in New York state supplies the city with 960 quarts of milk a day. Truck Transportation. New Britain is very well situated in reference to state roads and all| nelghboring towns are easily reached. | The greater part of New Britain's| milk supply is carried over the roads| in trucks or in one horse wagons. Very little is shipped to this city by | ralroad. Vhat keeps the cost of milk high in New Britain is the fact that farmers in nearby towns do not co-operate with each other, and travel over a great strotch of ground | to reach this city, whereas if they | would work together the same amount of territory could be covered at less expense. | The mayor's committee of New | York city which reported on the dis- | tribution of milk in that city stated | that 400 quarts per load would be the most economical method of distribu- tion. If the same conditions should apply to Naw Britain of the 47 dealers are now operating at less than 400 quarts. The average business of all dealers of this city is 365.5 quarts, yet 35 of the 47 dealers are below this average. Price of Milk. The predominant price at the pro- ducer's door during February and March of 1921, according to the re- port, was eoight and one-half cents a qnart irrespective of buttedfat con- tant, bacterial content, sediment test or barn acore. The range in prices was found to extend from 7 to 9 cents a quart. Twenty-two of the thirty-one dealers who buy their supply pay weekly; four pay every other week; two pay monthly; and the remaining S oy e YNV AN >/ S g 2 = @ ) 7 AN .

The present industrial depression has reduced New Britain's milk con- s'imption by 20 per cent, according to numerous dealers. The amount of milk sold retail remains fairly con- stant although several dealers claim that retall trade has declined. The closing of the factory restaurants has #criously hurt the New Britain milk ‘n tustry Below in Consumption. Milk as an article of food, accord- iny to the report, was not appreciat- o1 in New Britain and the per capital consumption was the lowest of any city in Connecticut. In this city the c.nsumption per capital was .58 per cent and the population is §9,316. In New London where the population is only 25,688, the per capita consump- tiun was 1.16 per cent. The surplus cn the hands of the local dealers is very light PROMINENT PERSONS HELD IN PORTUGAL Arrested For Alleged Participation of Exchange Fraud Which Occurred Recently, Lisbon, Sept. 21.—Many prominent persons in Portugal have been arrest- ed in connection with the huge ex- change fraud which was exposed last month. Count d1 Castro Guinareay and Alves Diniz, respectively directors ol the Lisbon and Azores bank and the mercantile international limited, were taken into custody yesterday, while it is expected that other of equal prominence will pe arrested. Investigations show that Dr. Alfon- 20 d'Acosta, former premier and min- ister of finance, was approached by representatives of the ‘“credit inter- national organization” of Antwerp, who offered a credit of $50,000,000 for supplying American products, especial- ly wheat and coal ,to Portugal. Senor d’Acosta was authorized by the gdV- ernment to negotiate with the organi- zation, which was understood to rep- | resent American capitalista. Immediately the exchange rate rose 50 per cent. but later dropped back to its former low point and inquiries in Washington showed that the Ant- werp organization had no connections in the United States.

Budapest, Sept. 21.—Austrian ports that Stephan Friedrich has pro- claimed a republic in west Hungary, and that the Hungarian government has ordered the mobilization of troops. are denied by the Hungarian agency. Vienna, Sept. 21.—Stephan Fried- rich, former Hungarian premier, ar- rived at Oedenburg, Burgenland on Monday. and proclaimed west Hun- gary a republic it is declared by newspapers here. Burgenland was recently in the hands of insurgent Hungarian bands, but they were be- lleved to have withdrawn, for the most part, as a result of representa- tions by allied authorities. Assertion is made here, however, that these bands have been constantly rein- forced until their members are now {nearly 30,000 in number, and it is said ‘theu men are so well armed and equipped that it is doubtful if Hun- garian regular soldiers sent to oust them could be able to cope with them. Military forces commanded by Friedrich are reported to be assem- bling at Steinamanger, and belief is expressed here that the Carlists and the legitimists have joined issue over the Burgenland question.

Mr. Lloyd George will probably have an informal talk over Irish af- fairs today with members of his cab- inet who are at Gairloch, Scotland, and Ireland will be the subject of a con- ference here tomorrow, but the pro- test sent to George Chitcherin, soviet foreign minister by Earl Curzon, sec- retary for foreign affairs, made public yesterday seemed to have many fea- tures which appeared to foreshadow important developments. Soviet Russia was accused with hav- ing carried on propaganda in Persia and Afghanistan, with sending agents jnto eastern Afghanistan for the pur- pose of getting in touch with disor- ued hostile machinations by Bolshevil emissaries. The impression exists that Premie: Lloyd George intends to appeal to th country in a general election for : mandate in dealing with the Irist question, the problem arising from un employment, the reparations situatior and a number of other knotty matter: which are pressing for settlement. Ths decision that neither Mr. Lloyd Georg¢ nor Earl Curzon would attend th¢ Washington conference on limitatior of armaments lent color to this belief DISORDERS I People in Ugly Humor Following Clos- ing Down of Bours Vierna, Sept. 21.—Serious disorder: occurred in this city following the closing of the Bourse. Many rushes ‘were made upon the entrances to the building, but these were checked by the police. The crowds then wrecked the shops of several money exchanges in the vicinity, while a few men sus- pected of speculating in foreign ex- change were dragged from their auto- mobiles and beaten. Impromptu mass meetings were harangued by speakers, who declared the Bourse would be cldosed perma- nently if profiteering in foreign ex- change values did not cease.
