DAIRY PRODUCTS. Butter mar
kets unsettled during the week and
weak at close today with prices aver
aging fully two cents below a week
ago. Supply on market slightly more
than ample to take care of current de-
mand. The supply of undergrades is
more liberal and butter of this class is
becoming harder to move. Closing
prices 80 score butter: New York 80:
Chicago 3Sh. Following advances
amounting to about two cents which
occurred on Wisconsin boards Monday,
cheese markets appear irmer. Trading
has been fairly active at the new
