Yesterday.
Butter.-Trading was such yester-
day that Prices were advanced in
nearly all lines. Fine butter had be-
come scarce again and the price was
up hc. This also was true of State
dairles and process, each advancing
1ac. Ladies and packing stock wee ~
nc, and the tone of the market
at the closing was firmer than in the
morning. 1t looks as though no for
eign butter can come and owners of
held stock are bullish. Prices fol-

CHEESE-There was an advance
of &c yesterday on all the good lines
of cheese and trade was active. The
European war had less effect on
cheese than any of the dairy prod
ucts. Skins did better yesterday than
common, the market closing firm.

EGGS-Trade was not heavy yes
terday, although the feeling on the
finer grades was rirm and they adj
vanced 1hc. Best dirties and nearby
henneries brought hc more. Market
conditions closed firm. If hot wealth
er keeps up and the European war
goes forward, owners of storage eggs
look for 30e eggs within the month.

LIVE POULTRY-Becau of re-
ports of heavy receipts this week the
market opened weak for both broilers
and fowls. Receivers expect 115 cars
by freight. Buyers were shy even at
present quotations. There is little
IA hot i
broilers. Shippers are buying in the
country on the basis of prices being
equal here There were II cars of
freight unloaded yesterday and one
car by express. Prices: Broilens, 1917

DRESSED POULTRY-It is diff
cult to find among receipts of fresh
killed fowls many that weigh lbs
and over. 1t Is this grade that is in
demand. Most of the fowls are
under lbs. They were dull yester-
day. Even heavy scalded fowls were
1sc. off. There was an increase in
the receipts of Western broilers, and
while the quotations were unchanged
the market was easier Old roostcrs
in light supply, with figures the same
as at closing Saturday. Very little
doing in frozen poultry. Prices fol
