The fixing of the price of three percent milk for December at $3.18 bythe Dairymen's League is for the pur-pose of putting dairy products in linewith all other products which arecoming down. Feed prices are great-ly reduced and there is also, a greatsurplus of milk to be disposed of, dueto the fact that much of the milk for-merly manufactured is not now beingsold.
