BUTTER IS STEADY
IN MARKET TODAY
Higher Price in Big Centers
Fails to Affect the
Local Value.


A slight increase in butter prices ir
the big butter centers last week was
not reflected in the local market
prices continuing the same as those
reported earlier in the week. The
market is holding its own today, ac.
cording to local dealers, nothing hav.
ing appeared to suggest an early
change in prices.
Slight decreases in the prices of
young chickens last week, it is stated
resulted in increased sales. The de-
creaseS came as a result of increased
receipts.
Fall vegetables continue plentiful
and cheap. dealers report. and it is
probable they will continue plentiful
until freezing weather appears and
ends the growing for the season.
Early morning trading was not
brisk, it was reported, being about
what it usually is the first of the
week.
