Late Markets.
CHEESE.

CHEESE.
The offerings at Utica on Monday
were again large, aggregating fully TO-,
900 boxes. OF these 5000 boxes were
sold at six O'Clock, aud buyers and sell
ers manifested a disposition to prolOng
their operations into the night. The
prices paid were 12@12kc., most of the
sales being made at 124@124c., though
1890, was quite freely paid.
The receipts at New York, for the
week ending Saturday last, were 69,859
boxes, and the exports were As, 500 box
es. The cable was 61s. Gold closed at
1I34, and the highest quotations for
cheese was 14c3.
The feeling in New York, among deal
ers, is indicated by the following from
the Producers Price Current of the 9th
The market has ruled quiet, but prices
have been kept firm by the small ar
rivals. The exporters find it difficult to
obtain stock to meet their requirements,
and pay perhaps d shade more money
than they did last week. Under the
conditions of the English markets they
cannot bid prices that will meet the
views of factorymen. Should the Eng
fish markets advance under the holding
back policy, we think it could not be
maintained. There is so much stock in
the interior that it would soon over
whelm us if started forward freely. The
exports from June / this year have very
largely exceeded those of the same time
last year, Do factorymen think there
is no limit to the capacity of English
men for consuming American cheese?
There is evidently determination, if
not a combination, on both sides the
water, to 'bear" down the price of
American cheese as much as possible,
preparatory to fall operations.
At Boston the receipts for the past
week have been 3,456 boxes and 81 tons.
The stock of fine cheese is small and
prices have been we'll sustained, with a
frmer tone at the close in sympathy
with the New York market which has
improved In demand and price. We no
tice sales of New York and Vermont
factory at 13@13Bc for fine and 11@124c
for fair TO good. Dealers are looking
for an increased trade this month and
are more anxious to get supplies, though
up to this time the home demand has
been very light.
BUTTER.
AT Utica there is no change in quota
tons. Fancy in New York is worth SO
@35c; fine State 30@32c., and Welsh
tubs 27@30o. The Producers Price
Current, the organ of the dealers,
says: =.
The market for state butter has been
far from active this week, a general
quietude has been noticeable, stock has
accumulated, and there has been a weak
| er feeling in all but the very finest retail
/ grades. We can not say that prices ara
| lower, and yet buyers are so particular
in selecting quality that il requiresa bet
/ ter article to bring the outside rates than
/ it did a week ago The proportion of
| half firkin tubs in the receipts is small
| and there is therefore more selecting
| from lots of firkins for local and near
by uses than heretofore. Walsh tubs
| move slowly, these are a good deal af-
| fected by the continued arrival of fine
/ Michigan and western reserve tubs which
| buyers prefer at the relative prices. We
| dosnot hear of Welsh tubs exceeding 30
cents in lots, in fact, that seems to be a
somewhat extreme price for them. Our
| adyices indicate very large quantity
of butter in the interior and a heavy
| feeling in prices there. 1t will, we think,
soon be evident to the dairymen that
buyers for this market will pursue q
hand to mouth policy, taking only such
quantities as they can soon turn at a
profit. There seems to be but one opin-
ion in regard to the quantity of butter
made and to be made this fall, and that
is that there will be a large surplus. 1t
| is thought that the firmness of dairymen
will keep a somewhat steady range OF
| prices during the remainder of the year,
and that the stock will be carried over
to break the market in the later winter
and spring. Judging from the past this
| is likely to be the case. 1t would, we
think, be far wiser to allow lower
range of prices to rule earlier in the
season, and thus open outlets for the
stock.
The receipts of butter at Boston for
the week have been 11,764 packages
against 12,211 packages for the cores
ponding week last year, and 1921
packages in 1871. The quality of the
receipts has been much poorer than last
week, and receivers have found it very
difficult to supply their customers, most
of whom are looking for. fine grades
which are not to be found. For this
reason, trade has been very unsatisfac-
tory, and the stock of common and
medium has further accumulated. Fol
fine, fresh lots 31@32c per pound have
been readily obtained; and for choice
summer diaries 2s@30c is the range. Ii
fact, price would be no object, if the
right kind were here; but most of sthe
stock consists of common and medium
grades, which are unsuitable at any rea
sonable price. Plenty of fair to goot
can be bought at 18@25c. and common
at 15@1sc per pound. We quote:
