IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

ter is the feature Of the market. Deal
ers are some - them alarmed at pros
poets of high prices on the new butter
that is to come, and exceedingly bearish
in their ideas Having no butter they
are very willing to set prices low.
Under little different conditions, such
as the May and June creameries having
been bought, anything like the present
demand would put prices up very sharp
ly. But in spite of the feeling Of those
who have no butter and want to buy, the
market is very firm and high. Extra

Eggs are in small supply for the sea-
son. 1t is believed that the high prices
OF meats have caused a much greater
consumption Of eggs, hence the reduced
arrivals. Not the usual amount of stor-
ing eggs has been done, and the storers
begin to wonder where eggs for storing
are to come from. Besides, present
prices are unusually high for storing.
