Late Markets.
CHEESE.

The market at Utica, Monday, opened
exceedingly dull and unpromising. But
the attendance was large-the largest
this season, and canyassing went on
freely until about four o'clock, when
sales began to be whispered around.
From this time until the close business
was quite lively. There were forty fac
tories represented, and the offerings
footed up about 5000 boxes. Of these,
there were some 2,000 sold. The fig
ures were 14l@145c. Only two facto-
ries sold for the highest figure. -Four or
five loads of private dairy cheese were
sold on the street.
Offerings of private dairy, at Little
Falls, amounted to about 700 boxes, all
of which were sold. The greater por-
ton went at 12@13c. A few choice lots
sold at 1890. All sales were shipped.
The market for heavy factory was some
what dull, buyers being willing to take
lots only at figures considerably off from
those of last week. Many sellers held
for 15c. until late in the afternoon. At
o'clock, only three lots, however, had
brought that figure. A rather indefinite
sale of one choice lot went for 154c.
Prices at last settled to 14t@143c, at
which figures the majority of the 3, 900
boxes offered were sold. Scattering lots
were disposed of at 13c., at lac. and at
143c. There were 1000 boxes of
cheese shipped from Little Falls last
week.
The receipts for the week, at Bos-
ton, were 7SS boxes. I he market ruled
steady and fairly active for choice old
factory, with sales at 15@16c. per h.
Common was slow of sale. A few lots
of full new cream were received, but of
poor quality and difficult to sell.
Skinned was very dull, with sales at 4
@7c. per ID.
The receipts at New York, for the
week ending Saturday last, were 1870
boxes, and the exports were 10, 106 box
es. The cable was us. Gold closed at
1883, and the highest quotation for
cheese was 16c. For the corresponding
week last year, the receipts were 10, 562
boxes, and the exports were 9,504 boxes.
The cable was COS. Gold closed at 1888,
and the highest quotation for cheese was
144c.
BUTTER.
The quotations at st. Adams, Tues
day, were for medium to good, 25@27c !;
selections, %.
The receipts of butter at Boston for
the week were 1889 packages against
1905 packages for the corresponding
week last year. There was an increased
demand during the week and supplies
each day were pretty well cleared up.
The sales of choice lines of New York
and Vermont opened at 32@33c, but
during the last two days of the week 80
@32c was the range, the market closing
at &c as the top price. A few lots not
up in color and white bottoms sold at
26@28c per pound. The sales of West
ern were at 30@31 for choice, but at the
close 30c was the outside price for the
best, while common and medium were
quoted at $4,000 per pound. Some of
the Western butter received was of
very fine flavor, and taken in preference
to other kinds.
The market in New York was not
very active, and was accompanied by
declining prices. The finest was quoted
at 33@35c. WEIGH tubs were quoted at
27@30. The Producers Price Current
says:
Receipts have been free of pals and
tubs, and the butter being not yet of
sufficient color and substance to justify
holding, receivers have been compelled
