CHEESE.

Unexpectedly active, and prices advanced
4@sc, probably because of a bare mar
ket in New York. The offerings reached
fully $500 boxes, of which 5000 boxes
were sold. The prices ranged from II
@13c-only one lot at the latter figure,
and one at 1890. The ruling seem to
be 124@124@12ac, a good many selling
at the highest figure. .-... ......
AT Little Falls, the offerings of private
dairy were less than last week, amount
ing to about 100 boxes, all of which
were sold and shipped. The market was
active and prices trifie higher than last
week. Sales were made at from 100
123c, one lot only for the latter price.
One or two lots sold for 12c, and the ma.
jority of the lots sold at 11bc. Factory
offerings amounted to about 5000 boxes,
5000 of which were sold. Prices were
considerable higher than last week and
the market brisker, sellers showing but
little disposition to hold. The cause of
the rise was due to the bare condition
of the New York market, last week.
shipments being nearly all disposed of.
Sales were made at from 114@135 cents,
the last price being received only for
fancy lots Prime factories went at
13c. The ruling price for good was 1890.
The market will probably show adecline
next week. There were 1900 boxes of
cheese shipped last week.
The receipts of cheese at Boston, for
the past week, were 3, 446 boxes and 135
tons. The market ruled quiet during the
week and prices were off fully &c z Ii.
Unfavorable advices from England was
the chef cause of the reduction, but the
very warm weather has also had its
effect, and while it continues we cannot
expect much activity. The best New
York or Vermont factory cannot be
quoted over 1890, with only a few sales
at that, and Ohio factory is slow of sale
at 12c 2 lb. The stock on the market is
light, however, and we don't think it is
likely that prices will go much lower.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were So, 5G4
boxes, and the exports were 1856 bxs.
The cable was SOS. GOldcloSed at 1863,
and the highest quotation for cheese was
1890. For the corresponding week last
year, the receipts were 82,015 and the
exports were 65,514 boxes The cable
was Sis. Gold closed at 1929, and the
highest quotation for cheese was lie
We notice that in the London market,
on the Goth of July, American cheese
was selling at 50@58s. The prices were
about IS. lower in Glasgow, and the mar
ket dull.
BUTTER.
The market, at Utica, continues about
the same. Large quantities of Western
butter are reaching New York and sell
ling at 22@24c., which has a tendency
to keep prices down.
The receipts of butter, at Bosom, for
the past week were 1868 packages
against II, 073 packages for the cores
ponding week last year. The butter
market is decidedly dull and prices of
all kinds under strictly choice tended
downward. The receipts from Vermont
during the week were in very poor or
der, with hardly a straight lot of prime
among them. Sales of New York and
Vermont at 20@25c for fair to good,
with a few choice lots at 26@27c, and
selections at CSC. per pound. Common
ranged from 15@1Sc, but there were
very few sales, and anything like a fair
offer would have been refused. Very
little Western butter sells for over 18c,
but really choice article would com
mand 20@22c per pound The warm
weather has had a very bad effect on
trade, buyers being unwilling to operate
except in a small way. The stock of
medium grades has been accommodating
for the past two weeks, and there is no
immediate prospect of working it off at
any reasonable price.
ST. ALBANS MARKTE.
The market at St. Adams, Tuesday,
was dull, and prices lower. We quote:
Common to fair, 10@1Sc; Medium to
good, 2O@22c; choice, 23@25c; selec-
tons 26@27c. The market for cheese Is
dull and dropping; no quotations.
