Show DROP IN BUTTER FEATMREOF WEES Salt Lake Housewives Will Keep on Using Oleomargarine, However. HEAVY DEMAND FOR PRODUCT INCREASING Business on Local Produce Market Mar-ket Pretty Brisk Saturday. The principal feature on (he local produce market Saturday was a drop in the price of butler. The product fell from .IS to .'55 cents a pound wholesale, and consequently from -15 to 10 cents a pound TOtail. Tho Salt Lake housewife, house-wife, however, si ill holds that the price is much too high, and she will continue con-tinue to substitute oleomargarine for butter. Shipments of oleomargarine arc being be-ing received daily and demand for the product is steadily increasing, according ac-cording to reports from the dealers. The demand for oleomargarine proves conclusively con-clusively that the Salt Lakchouscwifc is tired of paying 40 and -I5 cems a so-called so-called pound for butter, whoa in rcalitv tho package does not contain tho full pouud. In many instances on tho outside out-side of the package is marked "fifteen to sixteen ounces." Business generally was pretty good on the produce market Saturday". There was a fairly good demand for all lines of edibles, including moat, fish, vegetables, veg-etables, fruit, and so on. Poultry it, rather scarce and the price is high. "consequently "con-sequently there is not a heavy demand for this line. j Treasury Statement. By Associated Pre??. WASHINGTON. Jan. -'2.
