CHICAGO, Oct..9.-Butter stocks An
storage October show a large avail.
able supply. The current make is in
4 excess of that of t,ne same time "a
year ago. There has been some de.
cline Ia the standard grades OF but.
ter, which will probably be reflected
in the buying price. of cream in the
Producing territory, :
Little butter is, being exported.
while there are large importations
now arriving, witha further shipments
in sight.
Poultry receipts are heavier and
prices have declirted during the week,
both in the large markets and in the
country. Continuation of the large
supplies will probably result in furth,,
er lowering of prices. 1t is important
that poultry be marketed evenly each
week, as killing plants are generally
NOW fixed SO they can handle liberal
quantities.
Eggs which are fresh are in good
demand, but prices show little change
during the week. To,bring top prices,
eggs should be WELL handled and be
marketed promptly.
