New York (a state order) $14.78 at the base city

Mideast, and Western New York orders, statis
tical uniform prices are reported.) During Octo
ber, milk production in the 20 major states to
taled 12 0 billion pounds, down 0.2% from
October 2002. The following are the October-to-
October changes for selected states Texas 7 6%,

and Virginia-10 0%
Milk production is mostly steady in most of
the Northeast, steady to higher in the Southeast
Heavy rains are covering much of the region
and some flooding is causing scattered trans
portation problems. Fluid milk supplies are very
tight in the East. Contacts report even tighter
supplies this week as bottlers increase produc
tion runs to fill next week’s anticipated needs If
history shows us anything, these same bottlers
will be canceling loads early next week since
schools will be closed. However, many bottlers
will move their “down day” to the holiday and
then start refilling pipelines on Friday. Florida’s
need for milk increased this week as bottlers in
creased orders and more “winter residents” are
amving. The current, improved demand for
Class I milk is pulling more milk from Class 111
& IV plants where the tight milk supply is real
ly being felt. Many operations have cut back on
their already reduced operating schedules. Con
tacts are coping as best they can and milk is
moving greater distances.
The condensed skim market tone is little
changed and prices are steady. Supplies are
tight and few spot sales are reported.
The fluid cream market is very Arm. Con
tacts continue to report a shortage of cream all
across the country. Plants in regions that typi
cally supply cream to all regions are now look
ing to buy cream. Spot prices are jumping as
both last week’s CME average butter price and
multiples have increased sharply in the past
week and a half (This past Monday’s close on
AA butter at the CME surprised many cream
contacts when it dipped three cents.) Demand
for cream is seasonally very good and some ac
counts are not getting all they desire. Produc
tion of bottled cream, egg nog, sour cream, dip,
and cream cheese are quite heavy Ice cream
output is also holding above anticipated levels.
Churning activity is limited.
