Late Dairy Markets.

Monday was unexpectedly dull The Of
ferings reached only ala boxes, from IA
factories. Only three factories sold, as
far as could Re learned, and the aggregate
OF their sales was 673 boxes. Two of
the factories got 10 ID cents, and the 9TH
er 10 1-2 cents. The views of sellers were
generally full up to these figures, while
buyers did not want to pay oyer 10 cents.
Some of the factorymen refused 10 IA
cents. But buyers were very quiet all
through the day. The purchases were all
made by one buyer. The others had ad-
vices to hold on, until the New York
market is cleared of the accumulated
stock of last weeks receipts. One of the
heaviest buyers filled his orders during
the latter part of the week by making
trip south into Otsego county. He made
his purchases, it is understood, at 10 to
10 1-2 cents. The buyers, of late, like to
make their purchases at the factories, as
of old, and are inclined to fill their ord
ers, as far as possible, in this way. They
seem to think they get better margin.
The receipts for the week ending Sat-
urday were 82,015 boxes-the heaviest re.
ceipts of the season. The exports were
65,514 boxes. The cable continued at 51s.,
gold closed at 112 rs and the highest
quotation for cheese was II cents. for
favorite factories, choice to fine cheese
selling for 10 to 10 1-2 cents. The re-
ceipts for the corresponding week last
year were 81 SAC boxes, and the exports
were 1886 boxes. The cable was g.,
gold closed at ia 4, and the highest
quotations for cheese was IA cents. The
Producers Price Current of the 10Th
says:
We have had good shipping demand
all the week for fine grades. Fancy
colored cheese for the London market
have been scarce and have reached lie,
but 10 &C., has been about the top price
for fancy pale. The medium grades have
been the hardest to sell. Buyers want
either high or low grade and neglect the
intermediate quality unless they are of
fered very low. Low grade sell unusu-
ally well in England this season, taking
the place there of Dutch cheese, which
are held back. Fancy London cheese are
scarce and firm at the close, hut we carry
over fair stock of pale. Freights by
steam to Liverpool, IS to 37s The cable
has held up well when we consider that
the English make of cheese is very heavy,
all held, and about to be put upon the
market. Ohio cheese have been quiet
with the home trade, but shippers have
taken them freely at low prices.
BUTTER.-Fine is still in demand, at
26 to &c, and scarce. The lower grades
are not wanted, and drag heavily There
is no change to note either at home or in
New York. State frkina are worth 80 to
30o, in the city, and prime Welsh tubs,
26 to 28o. Choice yellow half firkins sell
at 30 to 32c. The Producer's Price Cur.I
rent discusses as follows on the condi- |
ton of the market:
To write frat of State butter: There is
a great complaint Of the quality Of the .
pals arriving; marks expected to run
fine are not fine on trial this result i .
great disappointment to receivers, as they .
can sell fine grades pretty readily, while |
other qualities are extremely slow and |
have to go into the cellars to increase
the stock already considerable The
reason that we get so few first class retail
grades is beyond donbt the holding back
of the butter until its fresh favor il lost.
tirkins, fresh in and choice, have had a
fair demand in a jobbing way from the
local and ,stern trades at steady rates.
bat lots that have been some time in
store are rather urged upon the attention
Of buyers at some concession in price, and
DO not even then find ready sale Welsh
ubs are very slow and favor the buyer
Fresh half frkin tubs meet a ready sale.
