Easing of butter from its re cent firm trading position resulted from a pronounced falling off of ship ping demand. With floating supplies practically all lert to Duyera on iocaa accounts an excess of receipts weighted the market. A cent drop ln the San Francisco market was a zur ther easlnsr influence here. Efeg re ceipts were lighter but fully ample zor tne traoe. .race concessions con tinued common. Slow movement of supplies marked the country dressed meat and poultry trade. Quotations on meats were un changed but plenty of calves con. tinued to seu aown to iv ceow pound for off duality. Most poultry lines were quoted lower due to slow demand and con sequent accomulatlons. Best heavy nens topped at m cents, on a cent irom Tuesday s nignest. meoium anu light weights were quoted 1 cent low er at 14 and ia cents respectively. White and colored broiling hens were off 1 to 3 cents respectively at 19 and 22 cents. , .( . BUTTE UFA T SAN FRANCISCO, May 13 WV-But. terfat f . o. b.
