Butter Prices Jump as Government Buys Increase Demand
Dairy Commissioner Fluhr cites heavy government purchases for soldiers and sailors as the main cause of butter rising to 60 cents a pound in many cities with 80 cent retail in Anaconda. Eastern markets show sharp hikes but limited wholesale buying, storage butter at 50 to 51 cents, and fresh creamery butter at 55 to 56 cents. Montana fat price tracks Chicago 53 cents, with high feed costs and government demand noted. He also suggests municipal milk stations to cut delivery costs and lower quart milk to 15 cents.

Cattle Weights Dip Lower Shaping War Beef Supply
A Chicago market study shows cattle average weight at Chicago for January August 1918 at 947 pounds, about 20 pounds below 1917 and the lightest on record. Despite 473,654 more cattle arriving than last year, beef tonnage falls by millions of pounds, with 1896 weights implying a large excess if markets had heavier cattle. The report warns against equating receipts with beef production and notes war-time feeding and prices influence the trend toward quicker turnover and market shambles.
