Prices of building materials increased daring and the Civil War just as they have today. ^ Id 1873, eight years after the close of the Civil War, prices pf building materials had receded only 6 per cent below their highest point reached in 1866. The conditions which caused high prices then--demand exceeding the supply, increased money per capita, ;, heightened business activity--are all present today, intensified by others ^ more far-reaching £ ^ie *ace °f ^is situation, can we really hope for lower building costs, the near futu*? . r ' .

Details of the big deal were worked oat fottowing numerous conferences. ' The amount that the Co-operative Marketing company will pay for the two plants is 1175,000. That sum was agreed upon at yesterday's meeting of the directors. Acceptance by Borriens means that the Borden company has sold out two of its three remaining plants in this vicinity at a vefy low price. To make-expansion of the Co-operative Marketing company possible and to finance the purchase of four more Borden plants, for which negotiations are now pending, the organisation's directors voted yesterday to increase its capital stock from $500,000 to $1,- 500.000, The increase in stock will be completed at a meeting of delegates of all locals October 5 in Chicago. "The sale of the St Charles and Chemung plants of Borden's to the marketing company is almost sure of completion this afternoon," said Robert Omann, Elgin member of the board of directors who was at yesterday's meeting. Mr. Omann is a member of the real estate, equipment and executive committee, but was unable to be present at today's conference with Borden officials. The St. Charles and Chemung plants will be used as condenseries by the milk producers, according to the directors. The company has been condensing milk since last February, when Wisconsin plants were taken over. Marketing company heads have been negotiating for weeks for the St. Charles and Chemung plants, at the same time were able to practically complete their deal, leaving the signing of the papers until directors could appropriate the money The St. Charles plant with its sixty employes will be taken over Friday, providing the deal is completed today. The average consumption of the plant .is 60,000 pounds of milk a day. For the last few weeks Borden's have been using 35,000 pounds. There are 116 termers, members of the Milk Pro-4 ducers, who supply the plant. One hundred and sixty-eight farmers supply the Chemung plant in Me- Henry county. The plant at times uses as high as 80,000 pounds of milk a day, but has been using about half of that amount lately. Sixty workers are employed at each of the plants. The Chemung plant will probably not be taken over by the producers until December 1 The four plants which are now being negotiated for have not been announced, but it is understood that the deals of at least three of them will be completed before December 1. The Algohquin condensery of the Borden company is the only remaining one in this vicinity. Four plants have been sold within the last two years, the Borden company quitting business in*eaeh case, with the two new deals. McNeil & Higgins company purchased the Carpentersville Borden plant and the Elgin Manufacturing company took over the local condensery to use as a machine shop. The malted milk department of the Borden company remains ip business at Elgin. MODERN MERCHANDISE, CUT!
