SAN FRANCISOO, Dec. 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.
