ings Of butter in cold storage Aug. l.,
were among the largest ever known. or
66,641,000 pounds. This is 900
pounds more than reserves of a year
ago.
These heavy holdings are the result
of one Of the most prosperous years
PRODUCERS ever had. In the early spring
favorable weather and abundant pas
lures resulted in material increase In
the production Of butter. Many Of the
creameries In the middle west produced
more butter than ever before In their
history. and receipts at Chicago showed
a surplus of 3.sso.ooo pounds over ar
rivals for the corresponding time last
year.
Thruout this period prices We're held
at / to cents a pound higher than
year ago and butter was showed into
cold storage rooms almost as fast as It
was produced. Now, dealers say. prices
the coming winter will have to advance
to the highest level ever known In the
history of the trade here II present
holders Of the product are to get out
without q loss.
Local jobbers attribute the high
prices and heavy cold storage stocks
to the warfare between the Chicago
and the Elgin butter boards. and pre-
dict that disastrous ending Of the
present campaign in cold storage but
ter will mean the natural death Of the
Elgin butter board
