Butter market weakens as Seattle prices hold firm
The Seattle butter market softened Saturday with no price changes yet expectations of a lower market next week. San Francisco and other outside markets traded several cents a pound below Seattle, prompting commission men to drop prices to avoid accumulating outside stock. Egg prices remained steady while the supply of second grades stayed ample, signaling a weak market ahead. Light Walla Walla spinach receipts pushed crates to 2.50 to 2.75, with fruit prices steady and vegetables showing few changes.
