BUTTER RULESF|RM
IN |NWEEK''SOEA[|NGS:
Prices From Half to Two
Cents Higher at Close Than
Previous Week.
BY tho Associated Press.

BY tho AeSOclatod FFobo.
CHICAGO, November 2o.-rhe but
ter market ruled firm throughout the
week. with prices at the close Of the
week ranging from q to 2 cents
higher than the close Of the week pre-
vious. Light supplies Of fancy butter
and fairly active consuming demand
was largely responsible for the price
advances, as there was little or no in
clination to buy for speculation.
The shortage of fine butter was
most keen1y felt on the New York and
Philadelphia markets. where it was
reported that some Of the larger dis
triburors Of butter were turning from
storage to fresh goods. These buyers
found 1t increasingly difficult to sup
ply their needs and were forced to
take some storage goods to supply
part of their requirements. 49,.
At Chicago the supply OF fine but
ter was at most times about equal to
the demand. and price advances were
negligible. The Boston market. which
at this season of the year uses large
quantities Of storage butter. appeared
to have a sufficient supply of fine.
fresh butter to satisfy the 1ight-buyer
demand, and at times the market ap-
peared q little topheavy on the 80
scores. "t'
Interest in butter during the past
week has been centered largely on
the whole milk goods with "cen-
tralized' butter neglected. The sup
ply of centralized cars on both the
New York and Chicago markets Yas
at all times ample to the compAra-
tiyely light demand and dealers found
1t increa singly difficult to make sales.
This resulted in the development Of
a weaker tone on the centralized car
market at Chicago on Thursday,
when tho price on 80 score cars de-.
clined X cent followed by further
decline Of n cent on Friday.
