Milk Supply Drops Prices As Connecticut Quarts Flow In
Connecticut farmers will supply at least 10 000 quarts of milk daily to Boston at a cent less per quart than last month. The move may lower consumer costs though some dealers say most milk in Boston runs nine cents per quart. Milk trains run later to boost Providence and Boston supplies by 10 000 quarts each. Garages reportedly repurpose milk cans for gasoline, with 10 000 more cans needed to return to normal.
