DAIRY AND POULTRY PRODUCTS
Following the acute shortage OF hne
goods which was largely responsible LOT
the very firm tone and sharp advances OF
last week. buying demand has fallen on
to some extent and the markets have De-
come somewhat unsettled. Buyers falleo
to follow the advances freely and began
| to look for cheaper goods especially
storage. Considerable quantities OF stor-
age butter were used and more demand
was also reported for good grades OF
/ storage eggs
The butter market held the firm posi-
| ton part of the week and while fancy
| marks were always well cleaned up there
was a decidedly easier tone to the market
| at the close Dealers found ii little
more difficult to find buyers with the re-
| suit that while western extras advanced
during the week to 45c at the close they
| had again dropped to 44c- Undergrades
never did find a ready outlet but were
drag at all times. 1t was impossible to
keep goods moving except at large con-
! cessions and because many dealers were
not willing to do this there was rather
heavy movement of these goods to the
warehouse. Northern butter which early
in the week was very scarce and values
nominal also was little more plentiful
at the close. Fancy northern butter
many Of the less fine lots moving at less
money
The cheese market was firm all week
with fair demand for all fancy goods.
Higher cost current arrivals are being
held firm and the earlier lower cost cheese
which dealers often were willing to sell
for less is becoming scarce Fancy Flats
and Twins wholesaled at 21-22c, smaller
styles up to 2sc. A premium OF IL to 1c
Is usual for fancy June goods
While the egg market on fresh goods
Is still firm and prices are slightly higher
than last week, the demand is not so keen
and the upward tendency has largely been
checked. Rather thar pay the very high
prices asked for the best fresh stock.
buyers are taking desirable lots Of stor-
age eggs at a lower figure. Closing
prices were as follows: Nearby hennerys
63-eSc, western hennerys $3.50, extras
1850, extra ffrsts 42-46c, frsts 35-51c |
and undergrades 27-34c.
Prices on dressed poultry have re-
NAMED steady under a good constant de- |
mand. Large fowl found a ready outlet |
at 1880 and chickens at $3.50. Real
fancy five pound chickens still selling at
a large premium of 45-5Oc. Live poultry
market steady unchanged. Fowl 30c,
chickens &c and old ROSTERS &c.
