Still lower figures are expected in the
butter market this week Conditions
which brought about a reduced price at
the beginning of last week have not
only been maintained but have become
somewhat accentuated. Receipts have
increased and neither price nor quality
has yet reached a strong basis. Nat
urally an easier market is anticipated.
Somewhat similar conditions apply TO
the cheese market. Production is in
creasing and another drop in prices
would occasion very little surprise The
quality of new cheese is proving unus-
uslly satisfactory.
Eggs again constitute about the most
uncertain produce commodity with re

the discOverer's body was Havana Ac-
cordingly the Government authorities
caused it to be transferred TO that city
