The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-06-20

The produce market during the past week
has been particularly active in the dealings
in butter. good demand exists for cream
cries of all grades. Much of this was for
storage and for retail dealers. There were
several orders for shipments. Extra rolls
from 141sc to 1512c; frsts, 14c to 141sc: gath
cred cream, as to grade. 111ac to 131ac; DAT
res. 14c; extras 13kc; frsts, lie to 12c. The
offerings in eggs were in considerable amount
and there was a slackening in demand re-
sulting in shading off in the price to the ex-
poultry, and prices We're lower, receipts be-
ing moderate. In the line of fruits straw
berries led the market in popularity the
supplies coming from Wisconsin, Illinois and
during the last days of the week from Min
nesota. The late berries are of good quality.
The season has been one of abundance but
the early shipments of Southern berries were
of an inferior grade. Raspberries. black and
red. are in good supply Good blackberries
edged their way forward about the middle of
the week. There were some receints cf cal
Hernia fruits including cherries. anricots
piums and peaches. Watermelo have an
peared and are in good condition The SIM
ply Is increasing and the price is gradually
shading down from the TOP figure of sOc
to SEC apiece. Green vegetables have been
more abundant, accompanied by a decline
in price. The trade is quite active Nearly
all lOlS are from nome local points. Trade in
a general way was very satisfactory to dsal-
ers in all lines
THE MAKE OF BUTTER FOR JUNE.
1t is probable that we have not had for
many years weather and climatic conditions
so favorable to the production of a large
amount of fancy creamery butter as have
prevailed since the opening of the June hut
ter-making, and it seems likely from -resent
CONDITIONS that they will prevail during the
balance Tha wi,
tain extent was backward as far as heat was
concerned, but grass all over the dsjry-pro-
ducing sections of the Western country had
become well rooted. firm and strong heovy
sodded and with the seasonable rains and
the sunshine Of the last ten or twelve DAYS
the quality of the grass has improved very
materially Wnlie the quantity is simply
great.
The class CT butter now being received from
the factories is evidence of the fact that fine
quality of milk has something to do win the
quality of butter. Buyers find mere lines of
ereameries that are uniform high grade solid
body and high-favored goods than for some
years. The grass is good. and the resultant
milk is of such a character THAI even a poor
buttermaker can hardly fail to make good
product. The quality, then, OF the June
make may be considered as we'll as settled
as being of the best, taking the average for
the last four or five years in the Western
producing territory. These conditions pre-
vail Not only in Illinois. Wisconsin ard Iowa.
but in Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota and
sections indicate that the growth of grass has
been very rapid and OF very high quality
This, of course, insures the same resultant
milk as in the other territory.
In discussing the question of the proluc-
ton of milk with the crcanerymen of the
Elgin district we find some CT them wi h an
increase over last year, and others say they
are not receiving much ard wien il c1mes
to the newer districts devoted to dairying
find variety Of experience, por1: on
receiving more and portion not receiving as
much. But the general consensus of oan on
seems to be that there VIII be no large n
crease in The make compared with f rnaer
years. Many of the dajrymen have disp s d
of the young stock and Il portion of III if
cid stock. so that they are not making as
much milk as in former years. We give
these facts TO our readers as we get them
