BUTTER AND EGGS
ARE STILL HIGH
Storage Egg Supplies Fail to
Lower PriceS-MeatS
Little Changed.

Dealers say there is no likelihood of
butter prices becoming lower. They
point to the decided decrease in the
amount OF butter this year compared
with what was in storage a year ago
as the basis for their belief
Prices year ago were appr oximate-
" 10 cents cheaper than prevailing
prices, a condition brought about by
continued excessive heat affecting pas.
lures. 1t is believed that high prices
will increase the demand for butter
substitutes.
Contrary to expectations, egg prices
continue to go higher. 1t was the be-
lief of many dealers early in the sea
son that the great quantities of eggs
in storage would keep down the price
of fresh stock but several increases
have been reported the past week or
two. Dealers think prices may go even
higher.
