Boston, April 21.-The butter market
continues in buyers favor. under the in
| fuence Of increased receipts and slow
| trade, and prices are about cent lower
| than week ago. So far there is very
| little accumulation, but buyers are hold
| ing off, and as further increase in sup
| plies is expected, sellers may have to
| make more concessions before bottom
| is touched.
The creameries in New York and Yer
mont which were closed most of the win
ter have been opened, and a material in
crease in the make is probable from this
time forward. The Western creameries
are also sending little larger supplies,
and as the roads are in better condition
there will be no further check to the full
development of the seasons supply
Receivers of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire fresh creamery asked 1917 to 10
cents for lots in small tubs and boxes
but Is cents for tubs will be full price
The maintenance of this price will de-
pend upon the quantity that comes in
later in the week, and it cannot wholly
be depended upon, as buyers are very
beariSh in their operations.
After passing the highest grade, prices
will have to be scaled down considerably.
and country shippers may be prepared
for a decline of 1 to cents per pound
The cheese market is not as brisk as
last week, and while there is no material
change in prices, it would be hard to |
place lot of SO or 100 boxes at IL cents |
Sales are mostly in small way at IL
to 121s cents, and the stock here is held |
mostly by one firm Small lots of new /
Western are arriving, but there is no de- |
them a iC
except in the case of fancy brand or |
two, which are taken al about ILL., cents |
Aside from the demand for cold stor-
age, the egg market has been rather
quiet and prices have ruled low. Re-
ceipts continue large and sales of West
ern have been at 10 to 10A cents, with
selected lots for cold storage at 1917 to
IL cents.
The stock in cold storage on Saturday
was 31,424 cases, against 1910 cases
same time last year. Receipts for the
week were 1853 cases, and of these 70
628 cases were put into cold storage.
