Milk production is reported as steady in most of the region. The gains seen in parts of the Southeast seem to have slowed and the de creases seen in the Northeast also seem to have eased. In the more northern areas, November is often the low month of the year for milk output on a daily average basis. Fluid milk supplies are still tight. Class I needs are holding at fairly good levels. Some manufacturers are moving more milk to bottlers The good call for skim milk and Class II condensed skim is reducing the need for dryer time and some cheese makers continue to report lighter production runs due to the tight milk supply. Bottled milk sales are steady at fair to good levels The striking or locked out workers that shut down several large retail chains, have voted to accept a new con tract and stores are reopening as quickly as they can be restocked. Florida's need for milk eased lower as production is increasing slowly The condensed skim market is little changed from past weeks Contract sales of Class II are moving nicely and spot interest is fair to good Spot demand for Class 111 wet solids is limited The fluid cream market is mostly steady at firm levels. Spot pnees are mixed Last week’s CME butter average did increase, but it is being offset by lower multiples Suppliers report that cream offerings are still tight and demand is im proving Contacts note that supplies often loosen up late in the week, but the opposite seems true this week The increased usage in holiday items, the improved call from butter makers, and tight surplus milk volumes are often cited as reasons for the tight cream sup ply Ice cream makers are shifting into fall/ winter schedules, but most are making their holiday flavors and staying busy Bottled cream production is picking up seasonally as is egg nog and dips. Cream cheese output is steady to heavier when extra cream may be available Butter output is increasing as producers want more fresh butter for holiday orders Some pro ducers are actively looking for more cream low Sorghum Rail 5 03-5 21 up 8 5.05-5 23 Barge 5.39-5 40 up 8-7 5 50-5 54 US 2 Yel- low Soybeans Barge 8.01-8 02 up 7 '/. 6.16-6 19 East Fluid Milk And Cream Review Madison, Wis.
