Late Dairy Markets.

CHEESE The transactions at the last
market day, in Utica, were very light, IS
but little cheese was offered. Only five
factories were represented, viz: L. L..
Wight, C. W. & G. A. Smith, Oriskany,
North Litohfeld, and Cassville. The total
Offering amounted to only $50 boxes, OF
which $50 were sold The prices realized
were 1871, 13t and 14c.-the latter figure
being paid for the L. L. Wight. The
buyers were present in force to the num-
Der of twenty-one. 1t will be seen that
there was no lack of buyers, and the light
ness of transactions was not due to the
lack of demand. The trouble was that
most of the factories sold during the week
at prices less than they would have got if
they had waited until the regular market
day and sold on the market, as they do at
Little Falls, where the factorymen under
stand the Importance and advantage OF
keeping up market.
The receipts in New York for the week
ending Saturday, were II $40 boxes, and
the exports were GATES boxes. The cable
has risen to Sos; gold closed at 115, and
tie highest quotation for cheese was 13a
cents. For the corresponding week last
year, the receipts were 62,239 boxes, and
the shipments 24,453 boxes. The cable
was els gold closed at 113, and the high
est quotation for cheese was 14tc.
The policy of keeping the stock going
forward and getting it into consumption,
has worked well, and will continue to
work well. Two or three weeks more of
activity will make the future of the mar
ket satisfactory and certain. The fact
that there ia demand in the home mar
ket is good feature, showing thi pit our
home dealers apprehend further rjfe and
are anxious to lay in stock before tie ad-
vance.
The recent severe frost has cut the
grass and fodder-corn and will consider
ably reduce the future manufacture of
cheese
At Little Falls tho trade in farm dairies
was very brisk, with a small Offering, and
prices averaging fully to 1 12c higher
than last week. Sales were made at II 1-2,
10, II 10, and 13c., good lots tending to-
wards the highest figure. The extreme
10 1-4o., was gained by one dairy at least.
The shipment was 969 boxes.
The trade in factory cheese was pecu-
liar. Statesmen placed thsir mark high,
and held on patiently. One factory sold
early at 49,, the statesmen thinking that
surely was high enough; 14c., was soon
reached, and then came the delay. Sales
men hardly felt safe in placing any price
on their cheese, they would listen to bids,
but were in no bury to accept them
the top fixure, whatever that should be-
Soon there came sales OF IA 1-Sc. and bids
of IA / A.; next were sales at the quarter
and bids of the half, and thus the market
reached 15o., and thus fixed the price of
several others. We quote then the high
est price at 15c. The prices most prevail
ing were between Is to IA 12c., general
ly IA. and upward by eighths. The
market was largely attended, and much
cheese was sold.
BUTTER is no material change
to note in the butter market. Really fine
ia always scarce and is worth 26c. to 28c
Buyers will not pay these figures, how
ever, for much that is offered. Their
range -still about zoe to 2Go. The produce
circulars represent the state of the New
York market as rather discouraging, and
seem to indicate an apprehension of large
lots back in the country, which will come
forward, by and by, and clog the market.
Canada butter, it is stated, has not come
forward at all yet, and will compete
strongly with western when it does ap-
pear. 1t is thought, too, that most of the
butter that is held back, will greatly de-
teriorate in guilty and make the supply
of lower grades so large that much of it
will ultimately have to 60 at grease prices.
Fine State is worth Soc. to 32c. in New
York prime, 28o. to 30o.; Welsh tubs,
26r. to 28'.
