At Utica, on Monday, there was a
good representation of both buyers and
sellers Fourteen factories We're repre-
sentcd and offered nearly 200 boxes,
which sold at 10 and 133 cents-onlv
two factories at the lowest, and three at
the highest figure. These figures were
the general prices. The average prize"
was a quarter of a cent over what was
anticipated by any one when the ma
ket opened.
At Little Falls the supply was cousi1-
erabIy IN excess of what it was the pre-
vious week. There was $500 boxes
offered; 1912 boxes We're sold, and
1888 boxes shipped. The price of farm
diaries ranged from to IS cents. The
buyers offers of f2 cents were generally
taken by sellers. The lowest figure at
which factory sold was 123 cents; and
49, cents was the highest. There was
one private sale of two factories at IA
cents The quality was an improvement
over the previous week The buyers
complained that much of the cheese
being dry, was sour skinned and not
sufficiently cooked.
c. G. Chamberlain & Co., Produce
Commission Merchants, Faneuil Hall,
Boston, report the cheese market quiet
with a very small stock of old. Sales
of choice factory at 1G and II cents, and
a few very fine lots sold at slight adj
vance on the outside figures. Choice
old diaries are held at Is and 16 cents.
New cheese is arriving pretty freely with
sales of full creamers at 10 and IA cents,
but the best factory at the close will
not bring over 10 cents. Skinned is
dull and has a wide range, according to
quality The quotations in Boston are
Vermont and New York, 16 to II; fair
to good factory, IA to IS; choice dairy,
10 to 10; common to good dairy, IS to
IA cents. New cheese is quoted, choice
full cream, Is to IA; good skinned, 9
to 10; common, to s cents.
The receipts at New York for last
week were 6,521 boxes, and the exports
were 7, 102 boxes. The highest quota
ton for old was 16 cents, for new 143
cents. For the corresponding week
last year the receipts were 5,164 boxes,
and the exports were 0,062 boxes. The
highest quotation for cheese at this time
last year was IA cents.
The season is backward and milk can
not be very rich, unless grain is fed. 1t
is reported from Canada that grass there
is coming on very slowly. 1t is to be
feared the country is threatened with a
drouth, and there is need of warm show
ers. A Canada correspondent of the
Utica Herald says that one of his cheese,
recently made, took III pounds of milk
for pound of cheese. Cheese inCanada,
what little has been sold, went at II to
- cents.
BUTTER.
At Utica the prices for butter remain
worth % to 80 cents. Grass made but
ter comes in slowly, and is in good de-
mand, but the quality is poor. Butter
is worth in New York from 80 to 80
cents, and fancy tubs bring 35 cents.
The market is not overstocked, and the
prospect for maintaining present prices
is good. Old butter is unsuitable, and
will soon have to be sold for grease, ur-
less it is of extra quality.
At Little Falls there is, as yet, but lit
tie doing in butter. A few lots sold at
"a and 81 cents. but buyers offers of 20
cents were readily taken on Monday.
At Boston Chamberlin & Co. report
an improvement, and receipts were
quickly disposed of at full quoted prices.
Choice lots of Vermont sold at % and ~
cents, and medium lots at 90 and n
cents. Some have been able to get 3Otc
for few prime lots, but safe quota
ton is not over 80 cents for the best
| quality. Some lots of Canada butter
from the border counties brought the
