CHEESE.


The offerings Of cheese, at Utica,
Monday, aggregated little over 1000
boxes, of which about 500 boxes, very
fine for the season, sold at 149@15c,
most of it at the higher figure. Not far
from 200 boxes, some of it partly skim
med, were sent on commission. There
was large attendance, many being
present who had no cheese ready Tor
market, and the feeling was cheerful
and encouraging.
At Little Falls, the same day, the mar
ket was very active, and about $500
boxes of both private dairy and factory
cheese was sold. About forty factories
were present. Prices for private dairy
ranged from 63@139c; for factory from
13@155c. Three factories sold for 151,
six for Is, and eight at 145@149c. Near
ly all sales were shipped.
In Boston, the receipts, last week,
were light, amounting only to 227 boxes
for the past week There was a little
firmer feeling for choice factory, which
was rather scarce, and sales were made
at 15@16c per lb, but 16c was an ex-
IRENE price. Dairy cheese was plenty
aud dull, ranging from 10@13c per Id,
and very little on the market would
command even 13c. A few lots of skim
med cheese were, also, received and sold
at low prices, 5@7c per 10. There have
been 2, 800 boxes exported to Liverpool.
The receipts at New York, for the
week ending Saturday, were 1912 boxes,
and the exports were 81 500 boxes. The
cable was lis Cd Cold closed at 1859,
and the highest quotation for cheese was
155c. The receipts for the correspond
ing week last year were 6,180 boxes,
and the exports were A, 203 boxes. The
cable was Cos Gold closed at 1871, and
the highest quotation for cheese was Ice.
The stock of old cheese is well reduced,
and for fine the figures are a fraction
above those for new. FreightS have

BUTTER
The market at ST. Adams was active
on Tuesday, although the prices were
lower than the last week The quota
tons were-common to fair, 90 to 2jc;
medium to good, 25 to csc choice 3Oc;
selections, 32c.
The receipts of butter in Boston for
the week were 6,906 packages, against
1922 packages for the corresponding
week last year. In addition to the regu-
lar receipts by freight trains, about
three thousand packages were received
by express, so that the supply from all
sources is quite liberal and prices had
decided downward tendency. On We'd
nesday and Thursday round lots of New
York and Vermont choice sold at 3703S
cents, but on Friday SIC was the outside
price and very few buyers were offering
over 35@36c per pound. Western drop
ped to SIC for the best, and 30@31c for
the second quality. In fact, it was diff
to obtain reliable quotation, as the sales
for the last few days of the week were
very small and prices were steadily de-
clinlng.
The quotations in New York have
dropped, and the best State and Welch
tubs sell at 34@36c Fine old fancy
goods little higher, The Producers
Price Current says:
''it seems at the present writing as
though the bottom was not yet reached,
for the arrivals are very liberal and the
demand seems hardly sufficient to pre-
vent an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS this receivers
are very anxious to avoid We have
had some demand from Southern cities
for both State and Western, but this
resource is likely to fail us, as, we learn,
free shipments are being made from the
West to those markets, and they will
very soon be filled up. Great caution
should be used by buyers in the interior
in taking this white and light colored
butter-a declining market should be
considered inevitable"
