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

good Pacific Coast demand, weak again

practically cleaned up surplus stocks.

CUBE BUTTER SENT OU.T OF TOWN
Lower Price Enables Dealers to Make
J Shipments.
Print butter moved out well yesterday
at the new selling basis, but there was
not much demand from the local cream
eries for cubes. The lower price enabled
holders to ship to outside markets.
The egg market was steady and the
- large receipts were readily taken, buyers
paying 17 and 18 cents, case count, and
21 cents for clean stock.
There was very little Inquiry for poultry
and the market was weak, light hens
selling at 2U cents, while 25 cents was
asked for heavy hens. ' Country dressed
meats were also slow.

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? Write or phone for the full particulars today.

Why 7 Municipals Won't Be
Available Long
War inflation and immense demands of industry
forced bond prices down until the middle of 1920.
Now capital, released by industrial liquidation, is
seeking investments again and high yield, low priced
bonds are being rapidly absorbed. We recommend
immediate investments to insure high yields during
future years.
