SIT will be seen that the exports have
been a good deal lighter than last year,
while our receipts have been nearly TO-
900 boxes heavier As our markets are
well cleared, it would seem that there
must be sufficient English demand to
keep up the present prices.
BUTTER.
At Utica there was a decline of FIVE
cents, and it sold for 25@27 cents.
In New York the prices are not only
lower but butter is plenty, quotation 81
@29 cents.
At Little Falls 26 ands 81 cents, only
the best grades bringing the latter price
At Boston the receipts of butter for
'the week have been 1926 packages
against 8,014 packages for the CORE
spending week last year The market
was pretty strong early in the week,
when the supply was light, but the train
of Thursday brought in large quantity
which tended to depress prices, and the
market closes with a decline of fully 1c
z ID. Sales of choice New York and
Vermont have been made at 2S031c, but
the outside is now an extreme price and
cannot be realized for round lots. Me
dunn grades ranged from 20 a 26c 7 10
and close rather quiet. Among the re-
ceipts are several lots of choice Canada
butter, which command about the same
figures as New York and Vermont. The
supply of Western has also increased
and lots of choice sold at 25@27c, but it
would be difficult to get over 26c for
round lots at the close. The quality of
the butter received this week is very
good, and the indications are favorable
for full supplies from this time forward.
Prices will no doubt again ease off next
week, so that operators in the country
should buy cautiously.
ST. ALBANs MARKET
On Tuesday the market was inactive,
prices were, fair to good, 22@24c extra
lots 25@28c. Cheese, extra, 1Sc fac
tory, 15@17c.
POTATOES.
Boston Potato market is just as dull
as it can be. The supply is very large,
and sales are slow at 40@45c Z bush, for
Jacksons, and same have been sold for
less. Early Rose cannot be moved at
over 50055c u bushel.
RAIL CONNECTION WITH BENNINGTON.
The Banner says:
We understand from the Harlem Elk
tension Co. that they viii contract to
carry freight and passengers, perpetu-
ally, from Bennington village to State
Line, at as cheap rates as the Troy and
Boston Co. will agree to do it, provided
they build the Walloomsac road, under
the agreement now made. If such an
arrangement as this can be effected,
why not do it and by securing to our
selves the desired outlet and competing
prices, also accommodate the people of
the Western Vermont Valley, and save
the hard scraping necessary to raise the
$3.50, 900 to give to the Troy and Boston
road for completing the road to State
Line At all events it can do no harm
to commend the suggestion to the friends
of the Wa1lOOmsac
