Color Your Butter 
MILK PRICES 
T HE Dairymen’s League Cooperative As¬ 
sociation announces the following prices 
that dealers will pay the League during the 
month of November for milk testing 3% in the 
basic zone of 201 to 210 miles from New York 
City. It is to be understood of course that the 
'prices mentioned below are not received by the 
farmer but go into the pool. They represent the 
prices dealers pay to the League. Class 1: milk 
used chiefly for fluid purposes, $3.07 per hun¬ 
dred pounds, an advance of 47c per hundred 
over the October price. Class 2A, used chiefly 
as fluid cream, $1.90; Class 2B, used chiefly in 
the manufacture of condensed milk and ice 
cream, $2.05; Class 2C, used chiefly in the 
manufacture of soft cheese, $2.05. 
Prices for Class 3 are to be determined on 
a different basis than has been used heretofore. 
The New York League price will be based on 
the average price paid by a specific group of 
condenseries located in the Middle West with 
a freight differential added. 
Class 4, prices will as usual be based on the 
butter and American cheese quotations on the 
New York market. 
Sheffield Producers 
The Sheffield Farms Producers announce the 
following price for 3% milk in the 201 to 210- 
mile zone: Class 1 , $3.07 per hundred; Class 2, 
$2.00; Class 3, $1.50; Class 4, determined by 
market quotations on butter and cheese. 
Non-Pool Cooperative 
The Non-pooling Dairymen's Cooperative 
prices for Class 1 milk is $2.80 per hundred; 
Class 2, $2.00; Class 3A, $1.60, with freight 
and fat differentials. 
Interstate Producers 
The Interstate Milk Producers’ Association 
(Philadelphia Price Plan) announces that 
receiving station prices, or the price to farmers 
in the 201 to 210-mile zone from Philadelphia 
for 3% milk, is $2.19. In the 101 to 110-mile 
zone the price is $2.29. 
BUTTER TENDING EASIER 
The butter market has been holding up re¬ 
markably well for the past week. As the week 
ending November 8 closed, there was some 
feeling that we could look for a slight break 
in the market, at least an easier turn. This 
did not materialize, for on Monday, the 10th, 
business was as brisk as ever and the market 
held its own, with a firmer undertone clearly 
evident. The chain stores have been buying 
quite freely due to the consumptive demand, 
which is reported as very satisfactory. On top 
of this good consumptive demand we are 
receiving only light receipts of fresh goods 
that can be called at all fancy. As a matter of 
fact, not enough fresh goods are arriving to go 
around and as a result there is a larger amount, 
of business being done in storage butter, and 
withdrawals are on the increase. 
Prices have advanced slightly during the 
week on fresh goods and unless we see a radical 
as a definite quotation, although a great deal 
of business has been done at tOj^jc. Creamery 
scoring 90 to 91 is bringing from 37 to 40c, 
while 88 to 89 score is quoted at 34 to 36c with 
lower grades ranging downward. 
CHEESE NOT MUCH BETTER 
The cheese market has not shown very much 
improvement over its condition of the last 
several weeks. A little more confidence has 
been shown in the New York market and 
prices in some cases have advanced slightly. 
However, on the whole trading is slow to 
expand. Advices from the West give evidence 
of a firmer tone out there with a result that 
Daisies advanced slightly. This strengthens 
the views in the local market with the result 
that prices advanced correspondingly._ New 
York State flats arc held steady, primarily 
because they are not in heavy supply. If the 
demand were more active, we would be very 
likely to see lower prices in the cheese market. 
Wholemilk State flats, held, grading fancy 
to special, are quoted from 20)4 to 21j/£c with 
average run goods selling from 19)4 to 20c. 
Fresh wholemilk State flats, grading as fancy 
and special, are bringing from 20 to 20)4c with 
average run good, selling at 18)4 to 19c and 
undergrades a cent lower. 
EGG MARKET SHOWS NO CHANGE 
The egg market remains just about the same 
as it was last week and what we have said 
before holds true now. Fancy large new laid 
nearby whites are scarce and firm in price. 
Receivers are having difficulty in filling orders. 
Lower grades and less desirable qualities are 
very irregular .and consequently are showing 
a wide range of offerings. “It is practically 
impossible to get real fancy eggs at the present 
time,” said a retail merchant to the writer 
during the past week. This is the situation in 
a nutshell and the poultryman who takes 
advantage of conditions and is shipping in 
real fancy eggs is getting good prices and has 
the market eating out of his hands. It is a 
seller’s market almost all the way through. 
Fancy, closely selected extras from Jersey 
and other nearby hennery whites are stiff 
bringing anywhere from 81 to 86c, depending 
upon package, etc., while average extras are 
worth 76 to 80c; extra firsts 70 to 75c and firsts 
60 to 68c. Nearby gathered whites grading 
firsts to extra firsts are bringing from 60 to 
72c with undergrades from 50 to 58c. Pullets 
are bringing anywhere from 40 to 58c, de¬ 
pending on size. Fancy nearby brown eggs 
are bringing anywhere from 60 to 70c. 
LIVE POULTRY MARKET SLOW 
The live poultry market has been slow all 
the week and unless things turn in a hurry we 
are going to see it continue that way. The 
freight market is slow and this has had a 
corresponding effect on the express market. 
However, there is a slightly steadier under- 
Where stock is mediocre 
than that. A few nearby farmers who are 
delivering direct to grocers are getting slightly 
better prices. Some are getting as much as.$l 
a bushel, but the grocer in this case is paying 
for service and extremely closely selected 
goods. 
NO CHANGE IN HAY 
The hay market continues about the same 
as it has been for the past several weeks. 
Prices are holding fairly steady and there is 
pretty good trading going on. No. 1 timothy 
is worth $27 while No. 2 grade is bringing 
from $24 to $25 and No. 3 from $22 to $23. 
This is for stock in large bales. Light clover 
mixed is bringing anywhere from $20 to $26 
depending on the grade it cofnes in. Second 
cutting alfalfa is bringing from $30 to $31 
for No. 1 stuff, while No. 2 grade is bringing 
from $25 to $26. 
GRAINS AND FEED 
According to New York State Department 
of Farms and Markets, the following prices 
prevailed November 1. « 
The quotations given in this report show the approximate 
prices at which feed can be purchased per ton, and grain 
per bushel, in straight carlots through billed from Western 
points, delivered on track at points in the freight zones as 
indicated. Mixed carlots cost approximately $2 per ton more. 
Retail feed and grain prices vary with different local dealers 
depending upon their individual cost of doing business, volume 
handled, etc. In the case of feeds the retail price may some¬ 
times be as high as $5 per ton above the wholesale prices given 
in this report

especially true with white Leghorns and other 
breeds of that class. Express chickens are 
slightly steadier, although they have been 
selling none too well and outside quotations 
are rather extreme. Fancy colored fowls arriv¬ 
ing via express are selling for 24c, while 
average stock is selling anywhere from 19 to 
23c. Stock has got to be real fancy to bring 
24c. The fanciest Leghorn fowls are selling 
from 18 to 19c but most of the stock is average 
run which brings from 15 to 19c. 
Colored chickens are bringing from 25 to 
26c, while Leghorn stock is holding about the

potatoes in the country. Another reason why 
there is little or no trading is because people 
are not buying potatoes. As this copy is being 
written, the weather is delightfully mild and 
New York feels like a spring day. 
As a result of this duff situation, prices have 
slumped, and now States are quoted at $1.60 
a bag and between 95c and $1 per cwt. in 
bulk. Maines are worth $2 in 150 pound 
sacks and $1.15 per cwt. in bulk. Long Islands
