Southern Buying Materially Increased--Considerable Quantities of
Canadian Cheese Bought.
The tone of cheese markets was at least steady during the week ending
Oct. 1, although prices which prevailed in Wisconsin during the week
suggested a somewhat unsettled feeling. Prices on Wisconsin cheese
boards advanced again Sept. 28, although the advances were for the most
part small and were confined to the larger styles. Some dealers quoted
prices representing very close margins, and this probably accounted for
more or less variation in f. o. b. selling prices on different days of
the week.
Daisies and Twins were good sellers throughout the week, Longhorns being
the only style which was especially slow. Buying in the South showed a
material increase. There was also considerable inquiry from southern
buyers. Practically all of the southern business went direct to
Wisconsin rather than through distributing market dealers.
