nesday, the 15th. WEEKLY PRODUCE REVIEW. While receipts of butter are a little heavier than last year, there is an excellent demand from consumers, and prices have advanced both in producing and consuming territories. There is very little imported butter in sight. The Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agrk culture, in its report of March 16, shows a range of 7 cents a lb between 87 and 92 score butter.

Better care of cream on the part of producers and more frequent deliveries would enable- the manufacturer to produce, more high grade butter; and would have a tendency to raise the price of butterfat. Movement of eggs has been interfered with on account of bad roads; receipts reaching the markets are a little lighter, with higher prices prevailing. Demand for both live and dressed poultry continues on a satisfactory basis, with prices practically unchanged. Produce Review, prepared by Swift Company, U. S.
