Receivers who control the first makes
OF Northern creamery were not willing
TO name lower price than 10 cents for
their finest lots. Buyers were slow to |
respond, as they expected some CONFESS |
sions, and those who were not anxious |
about getting special marks found sellers |
al 1872 cents. But the offerings of fancy |
marks were light and jobbers who want |
ed these had TO pay 10 cents. The ono |
tdtlohs' therefore, for Northern extra |
may be given at 1872 to 10 cents in trSs
and 1919 to 20 cents in boxes
For the general run of Western extra
creamery 1912 cents was the ton SELLING
price. few fancy brands run as high
as Northern, but these do not count in
giving regular quotation. Several
buyers claimed that they could get all |
the hne fresh Western they wanted at
Is cents, IN ash tubs, and some of the |
said they found it difficult to
sell at over IS cents, with not MANY bI1v-
ers at that A quotation of 10 to 49,
cents is all that the market will bear
with western markets quoting at II
cents.
Jobbers had moderate trade at 20 to
Il cents Tor tine fresh creamery in tubs,
and p cents in boxes, and could not see 4
any chance of reducing this rate on the |
best quality. Under grades were of
fered lower but there was not much de-
mand for them.
