AT CENTER MARKET
Butter Ignores Rise in Other
Cities-Drop in Eggs Tenn
porarily Halted.

New York and Chicago reported a
firmer condition of the butter market.
Prices advanced one-half cent. but
the advance. it is stated, will not
affect the local market.
There. is still much storage butter
on sale. Packers were overstocked
the past season, it is reported, their
excess supply amounting to approx
mately $4,000 tubs. This butter has
a tishy flavor at this season, dealers
say. and has to be sold, at a loss, for
cooking purposes.
1t is said that the supply of storage
eggs is about exhausted. Dealers re-
ported the egg market this morning
as being a little firmer, but with no
change in prices.
