BUTTER-Market was steadier
yesterday because of colder weather
predicted in the West. There was no
change in the high grades of butter,
but process was off 1zc and SO was
packing stock. Trading was firm.

houses showed surplus of over 10,-
oOo, 1000 lbs. of butter, compared with
a year ago, and 1t made the own
ers of held stock discouraged. Process
manufacturers threaten to stop max
ing because of the slow sale and the
high cost of packing stock, which Is
the principal ingredient In process
