Retailers Selling Surplus.
Advance of 25c Made for
The demand for canned milk from Europe Is
so keen at this time that the biggest con
denaarlea of the country are1- unable to keep
pace with the orders.
More money is betas' offered for canned milk
la carload lota br foreign aoverumenta at this
umi or at least BOc a case that the retailers
are aelllng these supplies to the consumers.
mia, therefore, has caused some of toe
brokerage Interests to hurry around to the re-
icuers ana enaeavuf to purenase au tne
canned milk on their shelves at higher prices
than they can secure at thla time by doling
one supplies one can at a time.
it la stated that the efforts of coast con-
denaaries to keep tne nrlce ot canned milk
down her bejt cost them many thousands ot
dollars In profits which they could just ss
well nsve secured by selling the entire produc
tion to the allied governments. The eondenanr
lea bave therefore issued strict orders that
hereafter the retailer is not to secure more
biock man nia actus needs it navlng been
round tnat some or nuem are aelllng to brokera
for the account of the allied e-overnments at
higher prices than the retail values fixed. In
other words the coodehsary companies have de
cided that if anyone was to secure the extra
profits they were entitled to them because of
th money lost in holdlns down the uric to
American consumers.

preoennoed as the aession grew old. Tha
losses inelsded 7o for wheat 4lo in corn and
l'io for oats. A great deal of the business
waa done is the way of settling outside oon
txmcts la wheat, out the business in eon was
spaa. Caah salts of grain were: 00,000 trash-
sis of wheat, 80,000 of corn and 75,000 of
oats. Of the latter thai were sales of 85,000
susneis for export.
Chicago, May $1. (U. P.) Restricted
trading continued to exert Its Influence to
day and the train market was erratic and fea
tureless.
July opened 74 under Saturday's close, but
ster recovered 2c to $2.36. September, down
Bo st ths opening, subsequently lost snotner
2c to $2.12.
Cora followed ths trend In wheat. July

$1.4H and later went to $1.49.
Oats trading also was erratic. July opened
