the local market This Is not due -
much to any unusual activity In the de
mand for fresh goods as II is 10 tbs
general tendency in the direcuOu Of
lighter receipts, coupled with rep- rts Of
marked advances in the primary mar
kets. Extra fipe fresh northern cream
cry Is firm al - cents, with some hold
ers asking z cent more. Extra gilt
edged Vermont stock in boxes Viii bring
% cents and even higher for tn night
sort OF 0feri@ss. Extra western cream
cry is hold at Y cents, and June stOr-
age supplies bring about 20 cents at TIM
top.
Cold storage butter has been receiV-
ing considerable attention, and round
lots have been taken by the trade at
10 to ~ cents. At the close very little
choice stock could be bought for l. IS
than 20 cents. Sharp buyers mlEat
still find some for Is to 1872 cents, but
if fresh goods hold at present laoss
storage stock viii be worth 70 cents or
more. 1t Is coming out in fine order
and gives full satisfaction. The cold
storage statement for the week is as
follows: Put in 1862 tubs, taken cut
l1,554 tubs, stock lis, 304 tubs, against
20l, S2S same time last year. For the cor
responding week last year 1919 tubs were
put n and 1881 tubs taken out

were 1924 tubs and 1854 boxes a total
of ~, i56 pounds, against 953, 097 pounds

last week and last year.
