of exporters to purchase freely added to
| the late experience of holders of stock,
together with the expected stringent
| money market, consequent upon our
western calamities, deferred many from
stocking up largely, and also indnced
free sales from their comparatively light
supply. The low prices created good
home demand, and thereby stocks were
rapidly reduced, although at loss to
the sellers. As soon as the supply be-
came exhausted in the city, dealers be-
came anxious to replenish their
stocks, and thus large advance
| in price was established, and IN a
proportionate degree the consump-
tive demand was checked, so that at
present, market quotations can with diff
ficulty be obtained, and were it not for
! the inclement weather retarding the
| operations of the factories, and thus de-

would have reCeded.sOme time since to
| the early winter quotations. Consider
| able new cheese is being received, and is
taken by the home trade, but at some
what reduced prices from the fine fall
make. Exporters have been tempted to
reship some of the fall expectations,
! owing to their inability to sell them
without loss upon the English market,
and in hope of their being placed to our
! home trade at present prices but the
experiment proves that England wants
neither quality nor quantity of cheese at
! anywhere near our present market rates.
! Still she holds heavy stocks of her own
make, which were barred out by the free
| consumption of our own during the
greater part of last season, and dairy
men, therefore. must not anticipate
| placing their early make at higher prices
than they obtained last season, except
upon such parcels as can be placed in
our own markets, and to our jobbing
trade. With the enormous quantities of
provisions exported the past winter,
completely flooding the European mar
kets and causing unprecedently low
prices to rule, we cannot hope to force
our accustomed supply of cheese upon
them except at proportionately low
figures. Therefore, it behOoves dairy
men to exercise the greater care in their
manufacture, and to conform in quality
and style to the tastes of our critical
home buyers. and to the more than crit.
cal judgement of our English friends.
Their success or failure for this season,
therefore, rests entirely with themselves
If they insist upon the manufacturers
turning out strictly fine goods they will
meet with a ready demand at moderate
and perhaps low figures. but irregular
and poor descriptions will undoubtedly
show very low average sales at the close
of the season.
BUTTER.
Prime new is worth % to so cents. A
fine article in New York, put up in fancy
style, is worth 80 to 50 cents. An ar
rival of 10000 pounds grass made Cali
fornia brought 40 cents The Price Our
rent says, ''There are considerable guam
titles of California butter to arrive. The
traders comment variously upon the
quality of this butter good many have
taken home a roll or two to try and
they say it makes bread taste frst-rate'
The solid waxy character of the rolls
make us think the California rancheros'
have a good deal of Jersey blood in their
herds.
