CHEESE.

CHEESE
At Utica, on Monday, the market
opened dull and discouraging in the
morning, but brushed up considerably
before the close. The offers were fully
5000 boxes. At six o'clock something
over 1000 boxes had changed hands,
with the prospect of sales which would
raise the figures to near 1000. The
prices ranged from 12@13c., with most
of the sales at 124@2c. Probably 1910.
might be taken as the ruling figure. If
any buyer had had the nerve to offer -
cents we think he could have swept the
board. As it was, only a few choice
factories went at that figure. The gen
eral impression seems to be that the
make this year is as large as it was last,
with the prospect of heavy fall make.
The stock in the country, it is thought
by some good judges, equals the make
since the first of July, the June
cheese on hand equaling the sales of July
cheese.
The receipts for the past week have
been 4, 313 boxes and 1 J tons. The tone
of the market is not so strong as a
week ago, in sympathy with the reac-
ton in New York, but the stock here is
light and there is enough demand to sus-
tain prices. The finest New York and
Vermont factory still commands IS "a
14c per pound, but there has been very
little here for a few weeks past good
enough to command the outside figure.
and sales range principally from II a
1870, including choice Western at the
highest price. Reports from Utica and
Little Falls indicate a dull market.
with a slight decline in prices.
The receipts at New York for the week
ending Saturday last were Sill boxes,
and the exports were 60. 573 boxes. The
cable was els. Gold closed at lis. and
the highest quotation for cheese was
1910. For the corresponding week last
year the receipts were So, 5G4 boxes, and
the exports were 1856 boxes. The
cable was 56s. Gold closed at 1859, and
the highest quotation for cheese was 12J
cents.
The lighter receipts and the clearing
out of the stock on hand, gives a better
feeling to the market. The prices paid
shippers last week were perhaps a shade
lower, owing mainly to the deteriorateF.

which hung heavily on the hauS,s of

says
The English markets are not thouobt
to be overstocked; they bad used fbe re-
ceipts of our cheese, up to three weeks
ago, about as rapidly as they had ar
rived, but the continued heavy shin

caused a weakness. 1t it hoped that the
lighter experience of last week will tend
to re-establish confidence. We are in
formed that there is considerable stock
