tember and October, and the balance are ear
ly and late made. As to the stock Of Ohios
in the interior, we have taken no especial
pains to obtain them, as they generally go In
TO the western aud southern markets directly,
and hence are not estimated in the stock to
come on this market. But give the rough
estimates of the trade for these without
adopting them. The stock Of the interior
markets which draw their supply from this
market or from this State, we give as esti-
mated, but made with more accuracy, and
these will probably be found to be nearly
correct.
The stock in this city on the first OF JAM
uary in the hands of receivers only is qs fol-
lows State cheese, boxes, 106,075 Ohio
cheese, boxes, 1850 skinned cheese, bvx-
es, 5000 making total of 1925 box
es. The stock in Boston is estimated at l5,-
600 to 10000 boxes; Philadelphia, 30,00O
Baltimore, 10000; Providence, 3,000-R1
5000 Albany, 10000 to $4,000 BaffaN
10, 10000, and in the balance Of this State
$4,000 to $4,000, making 100000 to l2O,-
900 in the State. BY counties the stock intbis
State is given as follows Oattaraugus, B..
800 boxes Allegheny, 1000 Erie, 30
600 Chautauqua, 5000 Cortland, H.
500 Jefferson, $500 Herkimer, 1000
Montgomery, 500 Oneida, $500 Onon-
daga, 1000; 0tsego, 5000 Lewis, 400;
Chenango, 5000, and all other counties 90
900, making total of $4,000 boxes in the
State, difference IN the estimates Of $4,000
to $4,000 boxes. Which is correct, the rea'
der must judge for himself.
In Ohio and the western markets the
stock of Ohio cheese is estimated roughly at
100000 but we have no means Of Judging if
they are correct. This may be an overesti.
mate, If the estimates up to this time Of
States are any criterion, as our inventory Of
the stock in New York shows it to have been
too large by so to 10000 boxes. If the
same discrepancy actually exists in the esti-

been current in the trade, in this city and
State, it would show not more than 10000
boxes more, at the present outside estimates
Of the country, on the first Of January this
year than on the same date last year I; and
if the stock by counties is correct, not more
than 10000 more. The conclusion would
therefore be that the trade have misconceiv-
cd the situation, which according to these fg-
ures, does not seem to be materially differ.
ent from last year at this time. Outside Of
the United States the situation is about
this The English markets are bare Of
American cheese as compared with last year.
Canada is in dispute, some claiming from
correspondents light stock Of not over 4O,-
900 to $4,000 boxes, while others claim,
from equally reliable sources, 10000 =
$4,000 boxes. Y
Since the above was prepared we have bcef
given the following estimate of stocks in the
country, prepared by several large receivers,
compiled from the correspondence Of their
several agents, which we add as there is a
material difference in some localities, while
others are here given not included in the
above estimates. As sellers are interested in
the lower figure and buyers in the larger,
both should be taken with grain Of allow
