Dairy Products
Bring Low Prices
While Milk Maintains a Good Price,
Dairy Products Are Much Lower
‘Than in 1928
~The present dairy situation in the
mew York Milk Shed is one of extreme
~ demoralization in its incipient stages,
said Fred’ FH. Sexauer, president of the
Dairymen’s League Co-operative Asso-
ciation, nlc, speaking before a Farm
and Home Week audience at Cornell
‘University Tuesday. .
“This situation is one that always
exists in fluid markets -in periods of
extreme demoralization of milk pro-
“duct prices,” said Mr. Sexauer, ‘“modi-
fied by the effective work of producers
toward stabilizing conditions, plus the
efforts of the Dairymen’s League in
the stabilization of market conditions
Ko through the prestige which it has in
the market.
7 “Standard prices for milk and cream
have been ‘maintained in all of the
markets in the territory at a relatively
high level, but the standard announced
prices by no means reflect the prices
at which large quantities of milk and
~eream are being sold.
“The retail price of bottled milk in
New York ity and other markets is
~ relatively stable. The price of bulk

* would be unable to obtain by manu-

if any, above manufactured prices. |
However, it does allow him to obtain |
the manufactured prices plus his plant |
x ‘handling charges, which under present |
conditions with the surplus market he |
|
facturing.
“Manufactured product prices today |
are far below anything dreamed of |
six months ago. Butter last week sold |
on the New oYrk market for 35% cents |
4per pound. The same day in 1929 the |
“game grade of butter sold for 50 cents,
‘a difference of 141% cents per pound. |
~ heese sold for 18 cents a pound last |
week compared with 241% cents on the]
same day in 1929. ondensers through- |
out the nUited States are paying 45 to,
"50 cents per 100 pounds less for milk |
than they did a year ago. |
“Obviously no one wishes to manu-|
_ facture milk into surplus products at
‘these prices, and by the same token
everyone is desirous of placing this
milk in fluid channels. This situation |
is also complicated by the fact that
during the fall and winter of 21928
there was not only a shortage of milk
in New York ity but a shortage of
milk pretty much all over the United
States and in fact in somé: foreign
countries. :
“Naturally the short ‘market of the
winter of 1928, with its . enhanced
profits to those who had storage stocks |
in excess of their immediate require-
ments induced large speculative stocks |
to be stored in addition to those which |
were stored to take care of legitimate
‘requirements.
“When the nation-wide shortage did
no* materialize, these manufacturers
found themselves with sufficient stocks
to last them until April; and a con-
stant supply of fluid milk coming into |
their plants to supply present needs.
Having no desire to further accumu-
Jate stocks, they began to discontinue |
their purchases or divert the produc-
tion into other channels. Their first |
desire was to get this additional milk |
into the fluid channel, and failing |
in this, put it into butter and cheese.” |
Mr. Sexauer pointed to the fact that
as early as October 1928 cooperative |
leaders had warned of the danger of
a surplus of dairy products. He told
of what is being done through organi- i
zation to meet the present situation, |
and declared that if all producers |
were working together along these
lines efforts would be much more pro-
ductive.
