BOSTON MARKET REVIEW

Week ending August 30th, 1921.
tPrepared by U. s. Bureau Of Mar
kets and Crop Estimates.)
Dairy and Poultry Products
After an almost constant advance
for nearly two months it Is only
natural to expect an irregular butter
market, and while trade has fallen off
and conditions are very dull. the
general undertone is firm and the
market appears healthy around pres
ent levels Prices went up rapidly
the latter part of last week, and have
dropped again to the former level, so
survey of the stores shows very lit
tie change. Fancy northern made
goods have been wanted at 42-43c for
tubs and at 44-46c for print butter.
western grades are about unchanged
at 36-42s, and there is hardly enough
dairy butter to quote.
Egg values have likewise shown an
irregular tendency, and the renewed
hot weather is about the only stabil-
izing element in the market, fancy
grades becoming scarce and advanc-
ing and the increasing supplies of
poor marks having to decline or go
to the storage. Hennery and extras
have sold up about &c. nearbys bring
ing 55-63c and the western extras
from 1850. Graded lines have
brought up to 43c while firsts sold
at Csc
The expected heavy receipts and
break in prices that the poultry trade
have been expecting all season seems
to have made belated arrival, but
while prices are lower and the market
the situation does not
appear bad, and many look for n

Young Jail Breaker CAUGHT

Leslie Steward, the 15-year-old boy
who has given the Rockland. county
and State Reform School authorities
so much trouble in the past two
years. Tuesday escaped from the
Knox county jail by crawling
through a ventilator, and lowering
himself to the ground ON knotted
blanket strips. Another boy gave the
alarm and the boy was captured at
