MONDAY, September %, 1873.
BUTTER--Wo can report decided improvement
In our butter market. There has been more demand
for all kinds at higher prices The incest lots Of fresh
made Vermont and New York State ran up to g1G3ic
per H., and some ran higher, and we are told that
very few farmers willing to sell their September
butter under 35c. Good diaries moved more easily at
2jG31c, and common at ls0soc The supply Of West
Is not as large as usual, and letters from Ohio
state that they get almost good prices at home
those current here and that need not look for
much nom that section at present
CHEESR-Our market stiened up again under the
influence ofan improved export demand In New York,
and If the panic does not Interfere, we look for higher

lily paid the past few days and some holders ask ic
for their hest.

and prices have declined fully CSC per bush For Pea
and Yellow Eyes We don't think i safe 70 quote over

tie difficult to get over 81, except for something very
nice. Holders of mediums are now willing 10 sell at
81 az Is. and the tendency Is still downward

iDi IS por bush Glover is Quiet at 9al1c per 10.
HAY-The bulk of the new hay coming in sells at
t2506 per ton, with few very choice lots at s7Hls
The demand is still about equal to the supply, but
much larger receipts would be- likely to depross the
market. Common hay ranges from sisD2i Rye
straw still commando s1j0i &c, and oat Sl2pi3.

prices are inclined downward. The sales have been
principally at 35Ul 100 per H. though for some OF the
