CHICAGO, April 19.—The week end ing April 19 in the butter markets brought prices to the lowest lev August, 1922, but the low prices ¢ some reaction on buying to add to de pleted stocks and some_speculative in terest was apparent. Wlmlu:.m prices for 92 score butter reached 35 cents at Chicago, 35% at New York, 36 to 3643 at Boston and 36% at Philadelphia, or April 17. Scarcity of centralized cars probabl: prevented more abrupt declines, accord ing to the United States bureau of ag ricultural economics in its review today There was no explanation as reported by the American Association of Cream- ery Butter Manufacturers which told of an average of 3.6 per cent over the previous week and 6.7 per cent over the same period a year ago. At present prices foreign arrivals which were comparatively light, ex- erted little influence in the butter sit- uation. > s DRY G00DS MARKET QUIET.
