Produce Review

Butter prices steadied during the
past week. Lower prices were asked
by retailers having increased con-
sumption. The cooler weather also
has made better trading and the
supply continues heavier than dur
ing the same period last year.
Poultry prices are consuming
centers have shown some weakness,
in line with lower prices on other
food products. The movement from
the farms, however, has been normal
at steady prices. Prospects are that
the demand for dressed poultry will
be only moderate for some time.
Fresh eggs are moving in larger
quantities throughout the country,
due to the mild weather, and with
prospects for continued favorable
weather, receipts will naturally
show further increase, and markets
should work much lower.
