BUTTER MARKET
BY Associated Press

Chicago. October lo.-The butter mar
ket became quiet with some tendency to-
ward sasinsss today after an advance Of
another quarter cent on % score. Zine
butter was cleaned up In fair shape, but
the medium grades were harder to move,
and 1851 score was very scarce. Because
of this and the fact that some buyers
required this class of goods. the market
on these was very firm at half-cent adj
vance. The car market was quiet and
easier because buyers generally did not
care to take such large quantities Storage
butter was also much quieter and the net
Withdrawals from storage were smaller.

Lumber Market Shows
Continued Improvement
Yellow Pine and Douglas Fir
Prices Advanced This
WecI,

CHICAGO, April ID. - Continued
heavy bookings in the structural woods
and indications Of steadily widening
demand contribute a healthy outlook
to the lumber market, according to
this weeks review of the trade bv
Lumber"
Prices of numerous items in yellow
pine and Douglas fir" says the review.
have advanced during the week under
insistent demand. Further advances
are quite probable, for, in the face Of
an increasing demand, extremely heavy
rams are seriously interfering with
production in Southern pine producing
areas. Hundreds of small mills that
would normally be adding their prod
uct to the available supply ara idle
and must remain so until weather con-
ditions improve. Wholesalers special
lzlng in transit shipments, which come
principally from the smaller mills, are
apologizlng for the brevity OF their
lists Of offerings. Production is being
crowded wherever this is possible and.
except in the South, the output is
steadily increasing.
The hardwood situation shows 2
slight further improvement, but many
centers continue to report sales slow
and the demand spotty."

country is doing business every
where upon much safer price basis
than last year and, while there are
troublesome problems to work out.
the nation is solving them in sat-
