CONDENSED AND EVAPORATED MILK MARKETS STILL SLOW
Domestic Products Meeting With More Competition From European
Goods—Exports Decrease.
The same relative inactivity which has featured condensed and evaporated
milk markets for several months continued during July, and prospects for
any materially improved demand are so slight that many of the trade who
have held a more or less confident attitude are beginning to lose some
of their optimism.
Export demand, upon which canned milk manufacturers have come to depend
to a large extent as an outlet for surplus domestic production, has
become less of a factor each month. Buying for relief purposes, which
constituted such a support to the evaporated milk market especially, has
practically ceased, and no additional orders seem to be in sight.
