M VP) Current quotations of butterfat, run ning lowe. tan the wholesale price of best grade buttsr for the first tlhie In years, has attracted attention to an unusual situation m the cnurning cream market. The greater decline of cream than of butter following the sharp oreak Saturday to 14c for 92 score butter at wholesale, la due to the necessity, butter manufacturers explained, of malting up losses on the price of the finished product. The losses are occasioned by the smaller return from the "overrun" that , the difference In weight of butter and the cream used In Its pro duction. The manufacturer who buys 100 pounds of churning cream etl 122 pounds of butter from It the 22 pounds being the "overrun." Ordinarily the price of cream and butter is the aame. the manufacturer making his profit out of the over run. The drop In butter cut the va'uo of the overrun drastically, forcing the producers to protect their position by reducing paying prices for cream still further. Photo by Shangle. Julin A. riiilirer.
