bottom of the range, while prices increased at the top. Declining seasonal milk 
output and lower component levels in milk are contributing to lighter cream

production in the region. Retail demand for butter is strengthening, as grocers 
are stocking up ahead of the Fall. Food service sales are steady. Contacts say 
the market for bulk butter has been somewhat quiet in recent weeks. Spot loads 
of butter are available, but somewhat snug. Prices for butteroil in Europe
