NEW YORK, FEBRUAR’i 28, 1018 
butter 
Receipts of fresh stock have been in¬ 
creasing rapidly and the prices are two 
cents lower, with the possibility of still 
further declines. Packing stock and city 
made are very dull and the demand for 
storage creamery is lighter, as the Gov¬ 
ernment price on these goods is now 
nearer on a par with the current price of 
fresh make.

CHEESE 
Business is very light with no special 
change in prices since last report. Hold¬ 
ers of medium and lower grades are offer¬ 
ing some of their goods at lower figures 
in an effort to increase trading.

EGGS 
The market is fully 15 cents lower 
than last week, a large part of the drop 
coming in one jump. After this heavy 
decline the market became steadier and 
business improved somewhat. The time 
of heaviest production is at hand and 
ordinarily further drops would be ex¬ 
pected soon, but the extreme prices of 
feed have caused many flocks to be dis¬ 
posed of. so that no such surplus as 
would have occurred in nonnal years 
during the Spring season is to be ex¬ 
pected.

LIVE POULTRY 
Some extensions have been made on the 
Government time set for closing out this 
business to give dealers a chance to get 
rid of delayed shipments. Most of the 
high grade fowls are reported selling at 
the Government maximum of .86 cents. 
Young roosters from 25 to .80 cents as to 
quality; old roo.sters around 22 cents; 
ducks and geese averaging above medium 
have gone about .85 cents and lower 
grades about 30 cents. 
DRESSED POT’LTRY 
Receipts of fresh killed are very small 
and much of the .stock consists of coai’se 
and undesirable chickens which have sold 
from 27 cents up. The bulk of the trade 
is being supplied by the 1017 pack of 
frozen poultry which is being worked out 
on the market as dealers consider best to 
get most profit out of it. The stronger 
feature is naturally fowls, which are 
scarcer, owing to the stoppage of the live 
fowl market.
