HILE they are being told that the price of mils in this city is to be boosted another notch or two next month, New| Yorkers will be interested to know that up in Canton (N. Y.), according to the St. Lawrence Plaindealer, representative of Hioston and New York milk dealers have been trying to arrange with| « local condensary concern “to receive daily sl lots of surplus milk, milk that they canuot sell in the cities “These men said,” reports the Plaindealer, “that after the recent advance in prices tho number of persons who had been buying quart bottles and who dropped to pints was simply * astounding. They went on to say that their rales had shrunk 80 per cent. They have contracted for certain milk, They cannot dispose of it. They want an outlet and are scurrying around trying to find concerns who will relieve them of the surplusage. This is unquestionably a fact or these men would not have been in Canton. If they cannot dispose of this sur- plus mtik to advantage there fs only one thing to do, and that ts to drop the price.” 4at New York milk denlera would rather peddle milk up-State than soll it to consumers in this city at prices reasonable cnongh to keep up the demand is yet another opaque spot in the perennial milk mystery.
