Prices Fall in Elgin Market as Butter and Eggs Slip
In the Elgin market last week creamery butter declined nine and a quarter cents per pound, with the ruling price at four cents and expectations of further cuts. Chicago dairy butter is reported at 20 to 22 cents, while strictly fresh eggs sell for 22 cents a dozen, with storage bringing the same price. The warm fall accelerates pullet laying, adding to egg market uncertainty as small dealers dump stored stock. Chicago cold storage reportedly holds about half a million cases of eggs, enough to feed the city for two months, amid a population around two million. Flour holds steady after a 20 cent barrel drop. Hatchers note lower livestock prices, signaling potential meat price reductions and a general drop in poultry prices.
