Owing to an expected decline in values,
based on market conditions, the creamery
board of trade, at it's weekly meeting
yesterday afternoon, decided that no
this time. This leaves the market at 5712c
roll of two pounds for creamery butter.
In speaking of this action Secretary
Weber of the creamery board said yes
terday:
After meeting this market conditions
were fully discussed and the conclusion
reached was that so cents for butter is
too high as the market is easing up in
San francisco and we anticipate a de-
cline. In the face of the stocks remaining
where they are and the output locally
and In the east, reaching generous
advance at this time would not be neces-
sary, as the belief also existed that the
market would have to be later lowered
If now advanced.
"Wil the board put up prices next
week, or will this present price only be
temporary was asked OF Secretary
II am no specialist or mind reader"
said Mr.. Weber, ''and connot tell what
the board may do next week, but | do
know that prices were not disturbed on
Saturday"
Sever produce firms that handle
butter in large lots when told of the ac-
tion of the board stated that butter from
the north was so scarce that they did not
see how the board could keep prices so
I'VE shall put our fancy brands to 90
cents said the manager of one firm,
"and If we do not sell as much butter we
know at least that full value Is being OBJ
tanned for what we do sell. If the market
in the north is broken or it breaks, the
causes are not apparent now, and we
think the market is full of promise, more
than speculative bear theory: Some one
is making money out of the butter mar
ket and we shall try and force the board
to locate the pot"
Eggs are not so active at 35@36 cents
for candled ranch, as the retailers are
forced to charge 40 cents a dozen. This
price has prevailed generally in the past
few days and also has caused a decreased
demand, hence the egg market as a whole
ruled easier but with no change in quo
tations. The holding back of eggs in
the north or the accumulation of stock
will not affect the Los Angeles market
for many weeks to come:
In the potato and onion market the
week closed in the same position these
articles have occupied all week. Stocks
have been ample of both and the demand
has been for the fancy goods that have
been scarce.
In fish and poultry the market was well
cleared up last night. and tomorrow will
see the market firmer, as supplies Will
be scarce as is usual on Monday.
Strawberries ruled 6@7c a box, and
loganberries were not in market
Local Salway peaches appeared yester-
day and were jobbing at 9OcQ$1 box
Utah peaches were firmer at $1l1.25 a
Figs are in small supply, and demand
is good at 75c@& box, and whites 500
60c a box.
ounces are 4O95Oc box and guavas
445c pound.
Bananas are in light supply, and jobbed
freely at 41ac pound. Unless the re-
ceipts are heavy this week stock VIII be
entirely exhausted.
