JEASTEKX BCTTEB 18 STRONGER But I sa ports From Denmark May Cease, Production Is Increasing. astern butter marketa turned very firm toward the latter part of the week. The drop Monday was due to sentiment only on account of Danish arrivals and there was an equally sharp recovery Tuesday. Domes tic butter was extremely short, especially cars of centralized. A few cars of Cali fornia butter arrived at Philadelphia and some are en route to eastern marketa They could have used more, but prices now are high for safe purchase. Shortage and firmness was a surprise to many, although April is generally short early. Good markets look possible for a weak to ten days until the shortage Is made up. The outstanding feature of . the San Francisco market last week was the sharp npward turn during the latter half, due to the heavy and unexpected eastern demand. Reports tbst Danish shipments hsd ceased and that England bad raised restrictions on butter consumption and would use all Danish exports caused eastern dealers to look to California for fancy fresh butter. From Friday to Friday there was a con tinued fluctuation in prices and trading conditions changed practically every day. There was slight net change In quotations and there waa an advance ot only a for the week. The tone of the market was weak Monday, firm Tuesday following a good Pacific Coast demand, weak again Wednesday up until the eastern demand practically cleaned up surplus stocks. v hile dealers were unable to fill all or ders from New Tork, Philadelphia and Boston, prices did not advance aa rapidly as might have been expected, as dealers were uncertain as to how long the eastern demand wouldd continue and wished to keep prices steady In order to encourage shipping businesa Without outside de mind, the San Frannlarn markof wnttM have been In poor condition, due to heavy "ire ience Along riigliway 10 lie receipt Cold storage holding, .how an Removed Because of Accident.

The stronger bank position, as disclosed Dy tne higher ratio of gold reserves flew by federal reserve institutions, and a com prehensive survey of business conditions Indicating an inceaso of production, evi dently were not regarded as strong factora Steels, equipments and related shares yielded to pressure, probably because of an Increasing belief that price and wage reductions ara inevitable. Inconspicuous specialties were back' ward. Passing of the American Beet Sugar common dividend seemed to have been discounted by last week's reversal. A marked change for the better came in the. last hour, prices rallying 1 to 2 points as shorts covered on the 44 per cent call money rate in the open market, although 6 per cent was the lowest rate quoted on the exchange.

H JL sSL eed the Advice of the Following Banks: In these readjustment days, sound business counsel can be as helpful as financial assistance. Read what these representative banks say about that great protective service for safeguarding your finances: Credit Insurance. A Leading National Bank of-Detroit says: "On the part of this bank's customers there has been an increasing interest in Credit Insurance. Bankers cannot help but look with favor upon this protection of which their borrowers are availing themselves. Just now, tuith shrinking values, Credit Insurance seems more desirable than ever. " A Commercial Bank of Cincinnati writes: "Under the present business condi tions, I would consider this insurance more advantageous than any other time in the history of the country. I candidly think that everyone engaged in extending credits should protect themselves with a policy in your company." " A Leading IBank of Davenport, Iowa writes: "In view of the fact that so large a percentage of the general business of the country is done on open book ac- counts it is very necessary that this part of the business man's assets should be protected in every way possible, and we feel that companies of your kind are doing much to strengthen our business and financial structures." A Prominent Trust Co. of Albany N.'Y. writes: "We believe it advisable that manu facturers and wholesalers ought to in sure their accounts against loss and for their own protection, especially at this time, because of falling prices and the disturbed condition of affairs in the business world." A Well-Known Banking Firm of Salt Lake City writes: "Many of the customers of our bank carry credit insurance and think highly of it, and we consistently encourage the securing of this protection by large extenders of credit" r , Manufacturers and wholesalers, can you afford not to investigate the American's Unlimited Policy of Credit Insurance, which guarantees to prevent, else pay, bad debt Josses beyond the nor mal?
