On Monday and Tuesday the markets were all easy nnd unsettled with buying In this barely sufficient to take care of the new arrivals of fresh butter. There also appeared to be a general lack of confidence, in the condition of the market.

After several weeks of sluggish trading the sudden (strengthening of the market on Wednesday came as a decided surprise to almost all who have bron following tho situation. Heavier buying on the part of distributors greatly aided In restoring confidence In the market. Stocks of butter on dealers' floors were soon exhausted and some rather sharp price advances on nil markets were noted. The sharp advances may be attributed to the fact that many distributors of butter hn.ve changed from storage butter to fresh thus creating a larger demand for fresh butter. Westlnghouso EIoc.

Reasons for this, given by some manufacturers, are Its sportive qualties especially with the top down in good weather as well as its adoption as the handler of the open typo cars. The call to the country has also brought out this open car.
