very lite change in conditions al
tecting the sale Of milk for fluid
purposes during the month OF
April. The price for New England

re" quart delivered in Boston. The
New York price remains the same
a last month, at S1.75 per cwt. for
Class l milk This price is for 80
milk in the 200 mile zone. There
is change, however, over las
month in that C.ass / is again a
single price statement in place Of
having Class IA am Class lib.
The present price includes milk in
40 Quart cans a d in bottles
Butter-The late cold snling,
with a resulting light production
OF butter has been larPelv resnon-
sible for the firm condition Of the
butter markets during April and at
present time. Practically all grades
of butter are scarce and storage
stocks are BEING cleaned up quick
~. 1t is Interesting to note the
narrow margin existing between
high scoring ana undertakes. Al
the present writing there is diff
ference CT only two cents per
pound between % and SO score
butter,
Cream-The demand is firm for
sweet 40f5 cream, which demand
will undoubtedly b, greater as the
season advances.
