NEW YORK, Friday.
MISUNDERSTANDING was only fair
to good yesterday. There was enough
fine butter to go around at quota
tons, but stock costing 27@28c is
urged for sale without buyers. This
quality is good and will pass for table
stock and will give general satisfac-
ton. The demand seems to be better
for held Junes. but there Is no in
crease in price. Process remains
steady. Factory is easy and packing
stock slow. Quotations are: Cream

EGGS-There is some accumulation
Of fresh stock, but the highest grades
clean up fairly well. Market is
Easier, especially on fresh, and sales
of refrigerator stock are curtailed.
Jobbers will complain that there is
mailer consumption, and they are
taking on but just enough to carry
them from day to day. as they antci-
pate a lower market. Much of the
alleged fresh eggs contain shrunken

coming from Ohio and Illinois The
