CREAMERY BUTTER WILL NOT BE BELOW 48 CENTS AGAIN IN 1919

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. 1 - If you are a iarmer and happen to own a cow which , produces 1,000 pounds of butterfat a week, you are in great luck. In such a case the entire dairy world will make a beaten pata . to your door, if you will let the visitors see your treasure. For 1,000 pounds -of butterfat from one cow or a herd of them, you could today get a cream check right here in Richmond for $650. This butterfat would bring $20 more than the same weight in creamery butter, for that is . worth but 63 cents per pound in a wholesale way at this writing. Now 63 cents being the present wholesale cost, every housewife will have her own idea of what she ought reasonably to pay her grocer or market, man for the daily creamery spread. It will be found however, that in many instances her own views as to a reasonable profit and the opinion of her grocer . do not coincide. It frequently happens too, that the woman is pretty near : right at that. The retailer, oi course, best knows the cost of doing business ' and also how much profit he must make to keep on the sunny outside ; of the poor house. Naturally, then, when you buy his wares, you must perforce take his word for it and also : pay him his price. Milk and Butter Record. '"'A quiet, unassuming California cow recently elevated the world's ' milk and butter record. This Holstein " milk factory produced 33,424 pouud3 y of milk of a quality rich enough to ' contain sufficient butterfat to have . made 1,322 pounds of butter, in 12 : months. This is the official story and v in view of the facts we beg to amend ' our opening statement, and to admit that if you have a cow which produces 1,000 pounds of butterfat per year, instead of per week, you still have a pretty good animal and one which you can not afford to part with. The Butter Price Record. Going back to January 17, 1917, we find, that creamery butter at wholesale," in Richmond, was worth 40 I cents ner pound. This price ruled, with slight variations, until April of that year when, it "broke under 40 cents, touching 38 cents per pound on May 1. This was just two years ago I this week, remember. On May 1 of s this year the price at the same creaml ery was 63 cents, or exactly 25 cents J per pound higher. This does not represent the top of the market, however, but 38 cents does represent the "botj torn,"' we believe, during the past three years, speaking in a wholesale ? way and as to Wayne county butter, j Butter Begins Its Climb. It will be interesting as a matter of comparison at this time to note the ; upward climb in the price of butter, dating back to the time when the United States took a hand in the fracas across the deep. ) As a matter of fact butter took its first upward flight in the Winter of ; 1914-15, or as soon as Great Britain increased its orders. No American '. has seen any "cheap" creamery but- ? ter since that date. The following are creamery butter wholesale prices in Richmond on the dates named : - Price per Date Pound May 1, 1917.............. ?0.38 May 15, 1917 .40 Vi June 1, 1917.. .43 October 1, 1917 .45 November 1,. 1917. ......... .45 December 1, 1917 .47 December 15. 1917 .50 January 2, 1918 .50 January 15, 1918... .. .50 February 1, 1918.... 50 March 1, 1918. .49 M March 15, 1918 . .47 April 1, 1918 .43 April 15, 1918 .43 May 1. 1918.... 43 May 15, 1918 .43 June 1, 1918...... .44 June 15, 1918 :.. .43 i h

The price was 70 cents per pound on that date, the highest wholesale price on creamery butter within the memory of our oldest "butter makers. The price lingered around 70 cents for a very few days and struck 48 cents by February 15. This proved to be "bottom," as the price jumped back to 55 cents within the following two weeks. It is doubtful that we shall see butter as low as 43 cents again this year, as the European demand will be felt more appreciably as vessel room becomes more easily obtained. Besides this a lot of butter is now going into storage regardless of price, to be marketed in this country or abroad as may best suit the interests of the owners. SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS PARADE TO BE HELD AT 1 1 A. M. TUESDAY The big Sells-Floto show will arrive in Richmond early Tuesday morning and a big crowd of kiddies and grown-ups will assemble at the railroad yards. The unloading will take place immediately after the first section of the circus train arrives in the yards. While the task of unloading with its numerous details is progressing the erection of the, circus city will be under way at the circus grounds. The unloading of a circus train and the erection of the big tops are always of great interest to the grown-ups and children. No time will be lost in get-i ting up the cook tents and horse tents.i The Sells-Floto horses, constituting some of the finest horseflesh in the world and imported from various parts of the world, will be on free exhibition an hour before the doors open, as will also be the herd of elephants, camels, lions, tigers and other jungle beasts. With its hundreds of horses, three herds of elephants, camels, an army of clever riders, garbed in colorful costumes which contribute to the dazzling display of scores of brilliantly hued cages and tableau wagons, the '"gorgeous free street parade" will be held at 11 o'clock. The parade will leave the show grounds promptly. I Numerous bands will be interspersed along the line. The clowns, the funny men of the circus, will give a touch of comedy to the vari-colored brilliant scene. Immediately after the parade preparations will be made for the opening performance which starts at 2:15. Complete exhibitions will be given afternoon and night.

VICTIMS OF WHOLESALE

HIKE IN GAS PRICES COMING It is predicted, and with reasonable certainty, that this coming summer the price of gasoline must go up, according to a writer in Motor Age. This has been brought about by the abrupt disappearance of a market for fuel oil, which it was believed would continue well into 1919, and possibly to 1920. The allied governments during the war made tremendous demands on the i fuel supply of America. Fuel oil commanded a good price, and it was this alone which enabled : the refiners to j oner gasoline at the restricted government price and still operate the refineries at a net profit, they state. With the end of the war came the end of the demand of fuel oil. with the result that the price dropped to about 80 cents a barrel, or 1.6 cents a gollon. When it is considered that last summer the price of fuel oil was about $2.50 a barrel, or 6 cents a gallon, the deficit is very apparent. The most logjcal expectation is that the price of gasoline will rise. The present situation is considered serious by the refiners. The total capacity of the mid-continent refineries is about 330,000 barrels of crude a day. Operation is cut to a third of this capacity, resulting in the production of about 50,000 barrels of fuel oil a day, for which there is no market. If the refineries are to continue, a market for these 50,000 barrels must be found, the oil men say. No Demand for Oil. The country's oil experts can see no coming demand for this fuel oil, but it is expected that the demand for gasoline is going to be so tremendous that the refineries will have to operate at full capacity. Result, more fuel oil to get rid of. The storage facilities of the country fast are becoming temporary disposal stations for this oil. Some progressive refiners are cutting a low-grade gasoline, 32-36 gravity, and the heavy residue then is turned into road oil, for which there is a good demand. Another opening for the oil is seen in the cracking processes. Standard Oil is expected to absorb quantities of this oil to be converted into gasoline it controls. The cracking output is about 50 per cent, of the crude taken in. Other refiners who do not have the advantage of the Standard Oil patented process can produce about 25 per cent of the amount taken in. Some refiners will be forced to burn the fuel oil under their stills instead of coal. Here is another place where a great quantity of oil can be disposed of, and the results probably will be better than the best that could be expected of coal. In addition there are severr.l long-time contracts with the railroad administration which also will help out. i All these conditions offer only a partial market, however, and it is not expected that these openings can affect the situation as a whole. The fact remains that the profits from fuel oil are gone, and these were the profits that sustained the refiners' business, they say. The conditions now will have to be reversed. The gasoline profits must do the supporting, and to do this the price must go up. Five cents a gallon is the estimated increase for gasoline. With this extra price it is expected the refiner can sell his fuel for whatever he can get and still be able to run his plant at a profit.
