CHEESE.

hate Dairy Markets,
CHEESE.
The Market at Utica on Monday was
dull and prices rcceded fully &c from last
weeks figures The offering was about
1850 boxes-not far from the same as
last week-but the sales were not over
One-half of what was offered. The
prices ranged from 13a@149c-one lot
at the former and twoa at the latter figure.
The indications are that we shall have
lage make, but factorymen believe that
when the hay cheese is out of the way,
cheese will move more freely for spell.
But we would warn all cheesemakers to
be on their guard as the hot weather
comes on, for the first hot week almost
invariably results in the manufacture of
a lot of poor cheese.
At Little Falls the market was duller
than usual. The offerings of the day
consisted, more or less, of the last lots
of hay cheese. Buyers conjectured that
sellers were anxious to close out this
quality, and would, therefore, sell for
lower figures than last week. This fact.
together with the rainy weather during
most Of the day, may account for the
dullness. About 600 boxes of farm
dairy were offered 500 boxes of these
were sold at 105@13c. two lots selling at
1850. Offering of factory amounted to
5000, 5000 of which were sold. Sales
at 134@144c, ruling price 14c. There
were about 1880 boxes shipped last
week The shipments this week amount
ed to about $500 boxes.
At Boston the receipts for the week
were 1898 boxes. The supply is still
moderate compared with the demand,
and prices are sustained. A decline,
however, is expected when receipts in
crease. Lots of choice factory have
been sold at 13@14c, and something ex-
ira commands 145@15. SKINNED cheese
is dull.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last, were so, 45G
boxes, and the exports were &c, $50. The
cable was 63s. Gold closed at ia, and
the highest quotation for cheese was
144c. For the corresponding week last
year, the receipts were 26, $50 boxes, and
the exports were %, 742 boxes. The
cable was 61s Cd Gold closed at 1929,
and the highest quotation for cheese was
| 13c.
BUTTER.
The receipts of butter at Utica, Mon
day, were heavy and prices on the de-
cline Prime to fancy State firkins are
worth 27@2Sc in New York, and prime
Welsh tubs bring 25@27c. The best
offering in the town market did not COM
mand over 25@27c. The Producers
Price Current says Prices for State are
decidedly lower. The quotations given
for firkins are merely nominal, there be-
ing little or no use for them. The Or
leans market is full of Western of fine
quality. and State is not wanted there.
All buyers for out of town cheese are
running largely upon western and neg
lected State We think there might be
a speculative call awakened for fine
State firkins at 25c.. but at no higher
figure A certain class of buyers will
use State and nothing else, but the great
mass of the trade are running upon
western, which can be bought 5@Sc be-
low State, and is just now of very fine
quality The decline in Western is 3@
4c., it is very plenty and tending to ac-
cumulate, though receivers are pushing
it vigorously, as a further decline is
looked for.
The receipts at Boston for the week
were again quite large, amounting to 13-
732 packages against 1911 packages for
the corresponding week last year. The
market was decidedly dull the past few
days, under the influence of the liberal
supplies, and prices have dropped about
&c q ID. The sales were. at 27GD 29c y fb
for New York and Vermont choice, but
on Thursday and Friday buyers were not
willing to give over CSC q ib, which was
the highest price for round lots at the
close. Medium grades ranged from 90
"a 25c u ib, with small demand. West
ern butter continued to come along in
excellent order, and was generally of a
fine quality, much better than last year
In fact, it was little inferior to New
York or Vermont, and as it could be
bought at lower prices, it is rapidly
growing into favor of class of trade
who would not look at it a year ago.
Sales of choice at "a q 26c u fb, but at
the close there were plenty of good lots
offering at 90 a Csc, though 26c was
still asked for the best. For medium
Western the range was from IS "a zoe q |
tb. The proportion of choice butter re-
ceived during the week was much larger
than usual, and the general tendency of
prices is to further decline.
ST. ALBANs MARKET.
The market was quiet. We quote
Fair grades 23c good 25c selections
% a PIC. No cheese in market.
RICHMOND MARKET.
The market at Richmond, on Monday,
was dull. Two hundred tubs of butter
sold at 20 a 22c, and 200 boxes of cheese
at prices as follows 6 "a SC for hay |
made, 10 a 12c for best diaries, factory
10 cents.
POTATOES.
The Boston market for potatoes con-
tinues in demoralized condition, owing
to the large receipts of Northern and
New York, which are selling from 35 to
45c per bu., as to quality. Eastern from
