The Utica Herald says:


ports bv 254, 1873 boxes, while the receipts
in 1881 were in excess of exports only
70, $50 bOxes-our excess of receipts
over exports being 100, 178 boxes more
than they were last year. But our ex-
ports are less than they were in 1871 by
60, 624 boxes, while our receipts are Ill.,
$50 boxes more than they were last
year, to the end of October, and 147, 900
more to the present date.
This shows a decreased demand in
England for our cheese, and it follows
that one of three things must be true
THE consumption has been less; 3
The English make has been larger; or,
3-The supply of American cheese
must be small, and a future demand |
must follow soon.
If our cheese has gone into cOnsump- |
ton, as has been stated, notwithstand- |
ing the English make has been large, we
may reasonably expect good future
demand. This condition of things Is IN |
dictated by the advance in the cable, in
the face Of the present high price. True |
our make has been large this year, but |
we have already sent forward 147, 1000 |
boxes more than we did last year; and
vet we are told that ''dealers are not car |
rying heavily, the stock on hand in
New York is small. What we have lost
on expectation we have gained on an in
creased home consumption, which is one
of the most favorable signs of the mar
ket.
There is doubtless considerable cheese
in the country, but some sof our best in
formed and shrewdest factory men do
not believe that there is more than the
market will call for at the present if not
higher prices.
BUTTER.
At Utica there was no change in price
from last week. At Little Falls twenty
five to thirty packages of butter wer sold
at 28@31 cents, 30 to 81 cents being the
ruling prices.
In the Boston market, last week, the
receipts of butter was 1874 packages,
against IL, 433 packages for the CORES
ponding week last year. The market
has been quiet, owing to the horse dis
ease, but no material change in prices is
reported, though some receivers have
been inclined to make slight concessions
on straight lots. The sales of fine fall
Vermont were at 1904, and some extra
selections brought 34036. Choice sum
mer and fall diaries have been selling at
81 and 30 cents, with an occasional in
voice of 81 and 80 cents, but more sold
under than over 30 cents. Medium
grades have been accumulated, and are
slow of sale at IS to % cents. The mar
ket closed with a liberal stock and few
err buyers than usual. The quotations
for Vermont butter are:
Fine fall, 32@34
Choice summer, $1,000
Fair to good, 2O@25
Common, 5000
The Producers Price Current, pub
lished in New York, says of the Butter
market
Disappointment in the quality of the
| diaries arriving is quite general those
which run good in the summer make are
very rare. In pals we notice a good
many of September make on the market
which are below prime, and hard to sell
at second quality. Poor or even fair
quality butter sells no better in pals
than in tubs or firkins-in fact buyers
would give the latter style the prefer
! ence. Parties having visited the interi-
or, report the quantity of butter through
the State as large, but generally of very
! inferior quality. Fine quality lis not
| generally thought to be plenty, still, it
must be admitted, October has been ia
vorable to quality, and the grass COntin-
ues in good condition. A week or two
| of fine weather longer than usual would
help us greatly in the amount of table
| butter to carry us over the winter. The
most hopeful feature of the market is
the steady demand from the South and
the liberal near by consumption.
ST. ALBANs MARKET.
On Tuesday the market at st. Albans
was depressed, owing to the fact that
the horse disease prevents the moving of
freights in the cities The dairymen
put their butter in store rather than part
with it at the reduced price. The quota
tiOns are;
Common to fair, 5000
Medium to good, 5000
Choice, 30@32
Selections, 80
One firm who buy largely for home
consumption, paid as high as 36 cents
for some choice lots.
The st. Adams Messenger says:
''There is'nO reasonable doubt but that
the recovery of the horses will bring up
the price in Boston, though for a week
or two il may also increase the supply
here"
