Late Dairy Markets

CHEESE-Ine market was not quite Is
active at Utica last Monday as it was the
week previous. Prices were a fraction
lower, and though the market opened
briskly, it dropped toward the close, and
the latter sales were made with some diff
ficulty. Over $500 boxes were register.

Fully 1900 boxes were sold, the prices
ranging from II to 12c. This, consider.
ing the reduction in the cable and the
lower prices and declining market in New
York, was a high figure to reach-one
that leaves little or no margin for the
buyer, unless there should be a sudden
advance, of which there is no prospect.
Indeed, with the prospect of large make
and the low price of provisions, it is al
most certain that further decline will
follow.
The receipts in New York, for the week
ending Saturday were 1890 boxes. The
shipments were 37,293 boxes. The cable
is down to 59s., gold closed at 1874, and
the highest quotation for cheese was 123c.
For the corresponding week last year, the
receipts were 40,084 boxes. The cable
was Cos, gold closed at III, and the
highest cheese quotation was 14ic. The
cable now lie Is lower than it reached any
time last year. The Producers Price
Current of the Gath says "The inquiry
for home consumption has been lighter
this week than last. There is fair
amount of stock now in store, and with
prospective large arrivals for next week
the feeling is weak at the close. There
is complaint of the quality of the stock.
Early in the week we had fair run of
fine factories, but latterly these have been
scarce. Many cheese have been badly
cured. Prices have declined about sc. on
State cheese, some think 129c. the top to-
day for fancy, but 124c. might be
reached if the stock was good enough,
had liberal receipts of Ohio factory and
they have been thrown upon shippers at
decline of nearly 1c."
BUTTER.-The market is dull and
dropping, and the range for good to prime
is 25 to 2Sc. There is an accumulation of
stock in New York. The Producers Price
Current takes the following gloomy view
of the market:
We have received more State butter
than has been required for immediate use
and stock has accumulated. We find in
the cellars many pals and a liberal guam
tity of frkins; neither half frkins nor
Welsh tubs are very plenty. The price
of Orange county pals is nominally I'M

grocers for choice single packages, but
we think that not more than one pail in
twenty brings that price from first hands.
The boats this morning sold lots of 20 or
30 at 30 to 32c. We believe that 30c. Of
fered for 100 pals, either on the boats or
street, poor ones thrown out, would be ac-
cepted. We had good inquiry for
choice frkins early in the week and 32c.

here prevents sellers from readily reduc.
ing rates. Most Of the sales of State have
been to local buyers.
A few lots Of frkins have been taken
to fill New Orleans orders, and some have
been bought, picked and put in cellar to
fill orders bye.and-bye, when the weather
will be too hot to allow fresh arrivals in
good order. The buyers for the Eastern
cities have bought State very moderately,
as they still find high grade Western suit
their trade very well. Western butter
has been in free receipt, and the demand
for it has, particularly within the past
two days, slackened considerably. This

of the buyers have recently supplied
themselves in advance of requirements.
California shippers seem to have with

favorable. As we anticipated couple Of
