A Class 1 differential specific to each pricing point (countv) is added to the base price to determine the applicable Class I price. The Class II skim milk price for September is $7.62, up six cents from August. Milk production levels range from steady to lower throughout the region Hot weather was prevalent in the South east over the weekend, but milder temper atures are being reported in the North east. Also, some much needed ram is falling on parts of the Middle Atlantic and Southeast this week. It is hoped that this relief from the hot, dry weather will allow milk output to rebound in the com ing weeks. Fluid milk supp les are tighter in all areas of the region now that bottlers are filling the school lunch pipelines. Most schools will be back in session next week and bottlers' orders for milk are heavy Along with the schools starting, bottlers are running heavy over the weekend be cause most will be down on Monday, 1 abor Day Florida's milk needs have in- creased and imports are increasing Ship- ments this week came from Pennsylvania and Michigan For the other Southeast states, milk was pulled in via intra-com- pain ehannels and no outside, spot loads were purchased However, contacts arc commenting on the tightness of milk in the region. Manufacturing plants are nearly idle in the Southeast and operating on reduced schedules in the Northeast. Condensed skim sales are reported as fair to good and some suppliers are selling nearly all their skim as fluid or con densed. Prices are steady, but suppliers are trying to push prices, particularly Class 111, higher for September ship ments. The fluid cream market is firm. Prices are little changed as the CME weekly a\- erage butter price fell less than one-tenth of-one-cent last week. Spot demand is holding up quite well, but some ice cream makers, as well as other cream users, ex pect to be down on Labor Day. Suppliers report tight supplies, but volumes seem to be in better balance than last week. Churning is light and often limited to only a couple plants in the region.
