PRICES Of BUTTER
+ WILL Go HIGHER
Local Dealer Predicts Early
Advance-Peaches Lower.
Beef Unchanged.

An increase Of one-ouarter cent In
the price of butter in the heavy but
ter centers Yesterday will not affect
retail prices here. The butter market
continues firm, and dealers have been
told of a prospective increase OF at
least < cents 4 pound by the middle
ri September.
U Dealers report a great shortage of
storage butter this season, the quaint
ties being far below that OF the pre-
csdins year. Hish prices the coming
Winter seem almost certain, accord
Ing to well inforced dealers.
Esg Supplies Enormous.
A different condition exists in the
egg market Eggs stored this season.
II is stated. are approximately 1000
oeh cases in excess of what dealers
stored last year. Because Of the
plentiful supply of fresh eggs at this
time. it is stated. there Ia no demand
for the storage product.
Indeed. il is stated. some OF the stor-
age people already are displaying
signs OF uneasiness because of the pre-
vailing conditions. Storage eggs, 1t is
stated. have not vet appeared in the
LEGAL retail market. and there is little
likelihood of any Of them being ohered
so long as the supply OF the fresh
stock continues fairly heavy.
