The reason for It will not ba any combine of the milkmen, but to tha great famine now existing in tha mill feed market. At this time there are practically no supplies of short to ba had in this territory at any price, aim ply because tha mills do not have the snorts to sen. in a wora, tney are short yes, very short of shorts, and while tne present pric Is long It may go higher. The reason for tha mill-feed shortage Is the general lack of oriental flour de mand tnus far this season. Miners say they never saw a time when such small business was shown. Even during the days when the orient was beginning to learn its A B C's In the use of flour, the call waa quite good from the Euro peans living there. What little amount of mill feed Is be ing ground 1 in demand several times over. " Millers usually contract a por tion of their expected output of shorts or other feeds, and at this time do not have mora than sufficient supplies to fill these contracts alone. The live stock men must therefore let their herds grace out in the open or else feed them expensive oats or barley. If this is done the price of all dairy products will be advanced because of the In creased cost. If, on the other hand, the dairymen do not supply their herds with oats and barley, they will produce but little milk and cream. That will surely cause dairy product prices to reach toward the upper regions. Dealers are charging $29 a ton at this time for white oats, and supplies, while fair, are not any too liberal at that figure. A further advance Is likely.
