Butter to Be Cheaper After
/ Pastures Get Started.
M Vegetable Review.

Butter prices continue high. and
there has been very little chanGe IN
egg prices the past month.
Butter will get cheaper When
cattle are able to feed on grass, re-
marked a local dealer today. II not
only will be cheaper. but its quality
will be greatly improved.
High price of feed is said TO have
been responsible for high prlce OF
butter the past Winter. Country out- %
ter is being received from nearoy
Maryland and Virginia, but not IN
quantities sufficiently large to aHecl
prices of the creamery product
Egg prices continue at 80 cents
for selected stock, and 29 for average
receipts. Dealers hardly expect
cheaper prices to rule in the near
future.
