[BUTTER SLIGHTLY EASIER 
There is no question but what the govern¬ 
ment report on June 1 of the cold storage hold¬ 
ings had a decided effect on the butter market. 
According to the Bureau of Agricultural Eco¬ 
nomics storage stocks on June 1, 1924, were 
22,328,000 pounds compared to 10,112,000 
pounds on June 1, 1923, showing an increase 
in storage stocks of 12,216,000 pounds. This 
increase is more than twice as great compared 
to May 1 . On May 1 , 1924, storage holdings 
were only 5,665,000 pounds greater than May 
1,1923. This has had a dampening effect upon 
the speculative market with the consequent 
easing in prices and on June 20 the price had 
declined approximately a half-cent a pound. 
Receipts have also been heavier during the past 
week compared to weeks previous and with 
these heavier arrivals there are bound to be 
evidences of further weakening. New York is 
storing much heavier than in any other time 
during the season but the speculative market 
is holding off. It has created a very flighty 
condition in the butter market. Heavy con¬ 
sumptive demand continues and this has 
something of a stabilizing effect. 
Creameries 93 score and better are quoted 
from 42c to 42)^c while creamery extras (92 
score) are set at tlj^c to 41)^c with the out¬ 
side figure more general. 
CHEESE MARKET FIRM 
1 The cheese market continues firm on fancy 
full grass State cheese and prices are slightly 
higher. According to the June 1 report of the 
Bureau of Agricultural Economics there were 
27,148,000 pounds American cheese in storage 
compared to 17,507,000 pounds on June 1, 
1923, or a gain of 9,641,000 pounds. However, 
this gain over 1923 is not as great as it was on 
May 1. On May 1, 1924, the holdings were 
over 12 million over those on May 1, 1923. 
Therefore the monthly increase over 1923 is 
about 2 Y 2 million pounds less on June 1 than 
May 1. Indications are that the market will 
continue about the same. The firm tone has 
existed for the past several days and with so 
much milk going into butter, conditions look 
favorable for the cheese man. The selection 
of average runs is narrowing and a few flats are 
still on the market at IS^c, but marks showing 
grass are bringing higher prices. Fresh State 
flats, whole milk, that are fancy are bringing 
anywhere from 20c to 20j^jc, with most trading 
going on at the inside figure. Fancy held State 
flats are bringing 25c on the average. 
EGG MARKET STILL STRONG 
Prices are approximately one cent a dozen 
higher all along the line compared to last 
week. The June 1 reports of the Bureau of 
Agricultural Economics show storage stocks 
amounting to 6,944,000 cases, compared to 
7,890,000 cases on June 1, 1923. In other 
words, the storage holdings are 946,000 cases 
below last year’s holdings. This difference 
is over five times as great as on May 1, when 
1924 holdings were only 174,000 cases under 
1923. This has had the effect of maintaining 
a strong market and operators are somewhat 
inclined to store their surplus beyond current 
trade needs. During the past week nearby 
receipts have been showing irregular quality 
with one a small per cent, that would grade as 
closely selected extras. This top quality 
stuff has been clearing well. There is good 
call for mediums of fancy quality on which 
prices are strengthening.

LIVE BROILERS IN HEAVY SUPPLY 
Warm unfavorable weather has had a de¬ 
cidedly dampening effect on the poultry market 
as far as the consuming trade is concerned, 
especially in the ease of fowls and trading has 
been only fair, tending at times to drag. It is 
only through the heavier supply of broilers 
and old roosters that has left a relatively light

HOME PRODUCTS Inc., Rahway, N. J. 
supply of fowls on the market to just about 
maintain prices. The market is in the buyer s 
favor and prices on the 19 th were shaded from 
% to lc a pound. There has been a liberal 
supply of express broilers, and fancy large 
colored stock is selling well. White leghorns 
are meeting a dragging and sluggish market 
due undoubtedly to the fact that the market 
on Leghorn stock arriving by freight is poor. 
Fancy colored broilers arriving by express are 
quoted from 38 to 40c,, while express White 
Leghorns weighing two pounds and over, 
are 5c a pound lower. White Leghorn broilers 
via express varying from small to average run 
are quoted anywhere from 25 to 32c, depend¬ 
ing on the quality and size. Colored fowls ar¬ 
riving by express are quoted anywhere from 
23 to 27c, while White Leghorns vary from 
22 to 25c. 
OLD POTATOES ABOUT DONE 
The “old stock” potato deal is about over. 
What few are coming on the market are meet¬ 
ing a dull market and values are very wide 
depending on quality. Southern potatoes have 
taken over the market entirely. 
Receipts from the south continue heavy and 
a great de- being carried over from 
day to (i tuation in general is un¬ 
healthy. Aet is still firm on South 
Carolina , that are carefully graded, 
sound an . . il, bringing from $3.75 to $4. 
However, the majority of the receipts are much 
below this and this general run of goods is 
bringing anywhere from $2.50 to $3.25. Wasty 
stock is running as low as $1 a barrel with some 
stock being dumped. 
GRAINS AND FEED 
According to New York State Department 
of Farms and Markets, the following prices 
prevailed, through billed from western points: 
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 delivered on track at points in the 
different freight zones as indicated.* Mixed cariots cost ap¬ 
proximately $2.00 per ton more. 
Retail feed and grain prices vary with different local dealers, 
depending upon their individual costs of doing business, vol¬ 
ume handled, etc. In the case of feeds the retail price may 
sometimes be as high as $5 per ton above the .wholesale price 
given in this report. . 
Wheat market continues upward trend. Hot wave in South¬ 
west and higher prices at Winnipeg strengthening factors to¬ 
day. Some export sales hard winter wheat reported via Gulf 
at around $1.21 per bushel Corn market firm but buying less 
active at advance. Oats market steady. 
The feed market has strengthened somewhat during the past 
few days. Wheat millfeeds continue firm with price tendency 
upward. Because of restricted production the market for lin¬ 
seed meal continues firm with movement light. Continued 
hardening of corn prices and light production has caused 
market for hominy feed to continue firm. Cottonseed meal 
inactive, movement light.

HAY MARKET SLIGHTLY EASIER 
Arrivals have been heavy, especially by boat, 
with a consequent weakening of the market, 
these boat arrivals bringing for the most part 
inferior grades of hay in small bales. This 
sudden swamping of the market with No. 3 and 
No. 4 goods has mellowed the market to a large 
extent. No. 1 in large bales is bringing from 
$30 to $31, small bales bringing one dollar less. 
No. 2 has come down from $31 as top quota¬ 
tion last week to $29 for top quotation this 
week. No. 2 in small bales is bringing from $26 
to $28. No. 3 hay varies from $25 to $27 in large 
bales, some No. 3 in small bales selling down to 
$23.
