New Workers are to-day paving the highest price
for butter asked in September during the twenty
three years covered by the files of the market re-
port. The ruling price yesterday was Is cents
What it VIII be later mono of the dealers in the
Greenwich District cared 10 predict yesterday.
Most OF them were frank. however. in an express
sion OF opinion thai record price would be
established this winter. The shortage in the milk
supply during the summer and the increased cost
Of fodder for the stock is assigned the reason
The declaration made every hand yester-
day that the present high price and the prospeC-
tive advances are not due 10 any manipulation by
the warehouse and cold storage interests
There has been n serious falling of in the re-
ceipts recently. The normal shipping OF butter TO
this city is from 5000 10 60 600 packages a week
Each package contains sixty pounds. But FOR the
week ended Saturday the receipts fell TO 1853
packages which IS only slightly in excess Of the
current consumptive capacity OF the market for
this season OF the year. William c. Taber, enc
OF the editors Of The New York Produce Review
and American Creamery" said yesterday that
there $1,000 fewer packages of butter in
storage than year ago-and butter reached a
high water mark last winter.
