The activity in ths cheese markets of the
United States and England has been attract
ing attention. Never before have such gene
rsa satisfactory and remuneraLive prices been
paid as during this season. Both the make
and the export. of cheese have been very large
and the consumption has been very great. In
England, particularly, the prices paid have
ruled from two to three cents a pound higher
than last year, and the high rates have thus
agreeably disappointed the hopes OF the most
sanguine. The cause Of the increased con-
sumption is attributed to the Improved condl'
ton OF the working classes of Great Britain,
who are now receiving advanced wages, and
are therefore enabled to live on good food and
even TO obtain luxurles. The working people
OF England, however, do not consider cheese
IA o luxury, but as one of the great necessa-
:ries OF life, and bread and cheese constitute
the staple fare of the mechanics and farming
iaborers.
