Butter Prices Rise Sharply Amid Dairy Demand
New York Times notes butter prices have jumped about 71 cent per pound from prior levels and traders foresee further gains as winter approaches. Packers paid around 24 1/2 to the pound last September. current quotes near 22 1/2 to 23 cents, with consumer prices hitting the season’s high for over 25 years. Some dealers predict 50 cents may come before Christendom’s close, while others call that unlikely. Industry sources say demand outpaces supply due to farm prosperity and labor shortages, restraining dairy herds and encouraging expansion.

Telegrams to speed letters under new German plan
Officials of the Piatafies Department await advices from American consuls in Germany regarding the value of a postoffice reform. Letters arriving late on certain trains will be forwarded by telegram at reduced rates. The Department of Commerce and Labor has reports from Germany and has instructed agents to pursue this new method. If forwarding offices cannot reach destinations by morning, items will go by telegram at a greatly reduced rate and be delivered by the mail car on the next morning. This offers merchants a way to reach customers without high telegraph costs. The German government approves the plan, with endorsements from reading business houses.
