BUTTER. 
Fiirtlu-r  prlcp  advuucoF  have  been  made  on 
practically  all  grades.  The'  market  continues 
firm,  with  consumptive  trade  still  good,  though* 
a  dropping  off  may  be  expected  at  any  time. 
Scarcity  is  the  reason  given  for  this  licnvy  ad¬ 
vance.  One  would  be  better  able  to  judge  about 
this  if  reports  of  holdings  in  the  large  Middle 
West  storages  were  available.  Those  could  duly 
be  got  by  law  compelling  publicity.  A  consid¬ 
erable  splurge  Is  mmfe  over  the  regular  asso¬ 
ciated  warehouses  reports,  and  probably  mauy 
people  think  that,  practically  all  of  the  butter 
and  eggs  Sti  storage  arc  accounted  for,  but  sev¬ 
eral  of  the  large  warehouses  never  report,  be¬ 
cause  their  secrecy  is  one  of  tiicdr  heaviest 
business  assets.  A  Federal  publicity  law  is 
needed,  with  reports  at  least  once  a  month,  and' 
supply  and  demand  will  do  the  rest.  Individual 
States  nre  hampered  in  attempts  to  remedy 
storage  abuses  so  long  as  dealers  In  other  largo 
storing  States  cun  (To  as  they  please  ubout.  this.

Primary  markets  In  the  Middle  West  have 
been  up  to  New  York  wholesale  figures,  but  de¬ 
clined  later,  Business  here  Is  dull,  but  no  dis¬ 
position  to  cut  prices  is  sliown,  as  dealers  feel 
that  the  light  supply  wurranls  a  firm  holding.

The  situation  Is  rather  weaker  than  last 
week.  Receipts  are  light  but  buyers  are  criti¬ 
cal,  and  the  demand  for  some  lines  is  cut  be¬ 
cause  of  the  high  prices  asked.  Storage  eggs  are 
in  strong  demand  and  somewhat  higher.  As 
with  butter,  none  but  the  few  ‘'Insiders"  lenow 
whether  the  short  supply  actually  warrants  the 
prices  prevailing,  and  only  a  Federal  storage 
publicity  law  can  dear  such  a  situation.

DRESSED  POULTRY. 
The  prices  asked  for  nearby  turkeys  are  so 
high  that  many  retailers  are  buying  only  enough 
to  fill  known  orders.  Prices  may  or  may  not 
break  In  three  or  four  days,  but  in  any  event 
turkeys  at  35  cents  wholesale  are  a  poor  risk. 
The  market  oil  chickens  is  In  rather  better  con¬ 
dition,  as  many  are  evidently  being  substituted 
for  turkeys,  and  (Tucks  are  selling  particularly 
well.  The  weather  has  thus  far  been  favorable 
for  handling  poultry.

VEGETABLES. 
Potato  market  Is  very  weak,  as  receipts  are 
large  untT  primary  cost  of  some  of  the  stock  so 
high  that  It  cannot  be  sold  now.  Speculators 
who  stocked  up  with  the  idea  that  $7  per  barrel 
would  soon  he  the  going  price  are  not  mooting 
retail  support,  as  consumers  are  economizing  on 
potatoes  or  using  some  other  form  of  starch 
food.  Cabbage  is  scarce  and  higher.  Cauliflower 
averaging  poor.  Best  is  very  high.  Onions 
higher.  String  beans  poor.  Peas  bigb  when 
Bound  nnd  fairly  well  filled.  Lettuce  very  high 
for  best.  The  following  vegetables  are  now  ar¬

blocks  are  larger  than  needed  in

Brownie  Blocks  are  cut  smaller, 
saving  waste  wood  and  cost,  and, 
by  special  treatment,  oozing  (or 
“bleeding”)  and  shrinkage  are 
prevented. 
Brownie  Blocks  make  a  barn
