The Butter market opened weak though
there was less depression than there was last
week. The feeling was weakest in the lowest
grades. which We're offered very low in several
instances. The top quotation for creamery re-
mained unchanged. Some dealers reported
more movement since the decline while others
We're still heavily overstocked and willing to
shade the quotations TO work of their stock.
There is no demand from outside points at
present. and the local market has to take
care of all the Butter that comes in.
