Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: The study reported in this publication was part of a larger study of the central dairy markets and of the manner in which prices of dairy products are established. The purposes of this report may be listed as follows: 1. To describe the Chicago and New York wholesale butter markets with particular attention to the manner in which central market prices are established and how they are used in buying and selling butter. 2. To determine whether the trading in wholesale bulk butter in the central markets, particularly on the spot boards of the Chicago and New York mercantile exchanges, is of such a nature that the forces of supply and demand are adequately brought to focus. 3. To determine the features of the marketing system which may have a bearing on day-to-day fluctuations in the price of butter. 4. To examine the charge that central market quotations understate the "true" value of butter.
