Among other produce, butter was again cheaper, while cheese 

 showed little alteration. Eggs also fell in value but the decline 

 was fully counter-balanced by the increase in the market value 

 of poultry. 



Feeding stuffs on the whole were inclined to be dearer m May 

 than in April, except brewers' grains, which experienced a sharp 

 decline; with this exception there was little difference between 

 prices in April and in May, No material alteration in fertiliser 

 prices was recorded, nitrate of soda again advancing slightly, 

 while the lower grades of basic slag were somewhat 1 educed. On 

 the average, prices for feeding stuffs and fertilisers during May 

 were between 50 and 60 per cent, above the pre-war level.
