| The recei pts at New York for the week
ending Saturday last, were 1887 boxes,
and the exports were 900 boxes This
makes only 2147 boxes for the last three
weeks against 5000 boxes for the same
time last year. The highest quotation
for cheese was 18c, and q decline OF
about one cent since last week, and the
market dull at that. Exports have been
made of inferior grades bought at about
12 cents. Some fine old has been returned
from England, because it is worth moro
here than there, but the quantity issmall.
Holders expect to work off the stock
of old cheese at satisfactory prices.

of the market and its prospects, taken

future.
Intelligent dairymen are anxious to
move their fodder product to market as
rapidly as possible, knowing that as
soon as it is fit for consumption it will
invariably command the best prices, and
that by neglecting to do so at the proper
the depreciation in quality.
The season has been very favorable
for forwarding butter and the receipts
have been readily absorbed at very fair
prices. The ''probabilities" in this arti-
Gle are-full prices for the entire spring
make. Quite an interest has been
aroused among the trade by the recent
arrivals of new grass butter from the
Golden State, and Eureka" may well
express the success which has attended
the butter makers on the Pacific.
The quality in make, color and favor
is fully equal to the finest New York
State diaries.

casks packed similarly, with the addi-
ton of pickle, but the delicate flavor of
the butter seemed more perceptible in
the former than in the latter packages.
While the experiment of shipping
their product to this market may not
prove remunerative to the California
dairyman it establishes the fact that they
henceforth will be independent of their
Eastern brethren, and that in case of
necessity they can reciprocate in fur
nishing the article for which they have
until so recently depended upon us.
Much as our dairymen are interested in
butter, | presume most of those who
read this article will give the greater at
tention to the latter part, which relates
to cheese.
To say that these results of last season |
were wholly unexpected, would be to
question the judgment of many of the
heaviest dealers.
At the close of the manufacturing sea-
son, it was an extensive opinion that
stocks were lighter than for the several
preceding seasons, by the disinclination
