Creamery butter shows dropping tendencies
under the influence of late balmy weather.
The same is true of eggs. Spring has made
such an early start that hens already begin to
get in their work. Dairy butter usually begins
to show up about April l. AS the season for
the new approaches old stock is more and more
depressed. Eggs are now little above midsum-
mer prices. Demand is light by reason of de-
clining markets. Stock comes in more freely
than it goes out. The hand to mouth policy is
pursued by dealers in the present condition of
markets, when the drift is downward. Gus
toners pursue this policy in the faith they will
be able to buy lower in few days. Produce
men find little comfort in the situation. AS
new stuff is coming in from the South, the old
grows weaker every day.
