In every nook Of the produce mar
ket yesterday the butter question was
the alluring theme. No coast and the
Withdrawals from storage. that are in
creasing, caused the full strength of
the recent advance to 81 " a roll to
be maintained for fancy creamery
Receipts of fresh eastern butter In
special packages, and one known as
the Lincoln from Nebraska, are at
tracting attention. The ingenuity has
packages that render them alright,
and when kept at a low temperature
the freshness of the goods Is pre-
served. This is a trade feature that
is worthy of comment as IL affects the
consumer more than the retail dealer.
EGGS WELL HELD-Finally senti-
ment has crystallized where 1t Is ad-
mitted that eggs are on the proper
basis and thrt 81 cents is the price for
local ranch, sowing to scarcity and alb
solute market conditions. Eastern are
"a cents.
From the present outlook the indi-
cations for another advance seem in
evidence and several large egg hand
,ers are predicting a 30-cent market
before many more weeks shall have
elapsed, provided the receipts of fresh
ranch eggs are no greater than on
yesterday 92 cases.
No more fresh eastern will arrive
this week, but one broker reports a
carload of selects on the track from
the middle northwest.

$4,000 pounds of cream cheese came
