Countywide: The cheese market is dull with very low prices. At the county's Dairy Board of Trade, the afternoon was very quiet. Buyers were not anxious to sell and sellers were willing to hold for better prices. Both offerings and sales were light with 7 cents for flats and 7 1/4 cents for Young Americas.
Carlton: Bach & Co. is one of the institutions Carlton people are proud of. It uses about 3,700 pounds of milk daily and finds a ready market for first-class cheese.
