CHEESE.

There is no quotable change in prices,
but the market remains firm, and the ca
BILE has advanced to Gas Freights are
about zoe, and transactions for exports
are light. High prices in the West indi-
cate that no more stock Will be received
from that direction.
The receipts at bustUu rot tuo week
were one thousand and thirty-three box
es The advance noticed early in the
week has been sustained and buyers have
operated quite freely For choice fac
tory 15c was freely paid on Wednesday
and Thursday, and since then another &c
per pound has been added, the market
closing firm at ice for the best factory.
Common to good lots, factory and dairy,
sold at 12@144c, and it is now difficult
to get fair lot of cheese under 15c per
pound.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were nine
thousand and seventy-one boxes, and
the exports were four thousand nine
hundred and eleven boxes. The cable
was SIC. Gold closed at 1871, and the
highest quotation for cheese was 153C.
For the corresponding week last year,
the receipts were four thousand four
hundred and fifty-one boxes and the eX-
ports were one thousand nine hundred
and thirty four boxes. The cable was
63s. Gold closed at 1898, and the high
est quotations for cheese was 14fC.
BUTTER.
The receipts at Boston for the week
haveIbeen six thousand two hundred and
forty-one packages, against six thousand
nine hundred and seventy four packages
for the corresponding week last year.
| The butter market has taken a decided
start, and more buyers have been round
the last week than at any time during
the last two months. New York and
Vermont fine fall made is very scarce,
and selected lots are picked up very
/ quick at 36@37c, though for lots we can
not quote sales at over 35c per pound.
/ Choice diaries command 27@31c, and
some holders ARE expecting a higher
range. Common to good range mostly
from 18@26c per pound, and for this
kind there has been good demand. Sup
plies from Canada are coming forward
more freely, with sales ranging from 20
| 030c, and some very choice lots at 800
34c per pound. 1t is believed that the
stock of choice butter in New ork and
Vermont is very small, and unless a
large supply come in from Canada, we
look for a higher range of prices the
coming six weeks.
The market in New York continues
firm and promising. We quote from
the Producers Price Current of the
18th The market for all kinds of
packed butter has continued very firm.
There has not been much activity, but
still fair trade in nearly all grades.
Welsh tubs have moved more slowly
than other styles Prices have continued
to favor the seller 36c has been refused
for choice diaries, and some parties holC
some fancy half tubs little above Acc
We have heard of a sale of June West
ern to a marketman at CSC, which il
considered an extreme rate. Canadian
butter arrives moderately and sells at thu
range of our quotations exceptionally
prime has reached 33c. The majority
of the trade feel very confident as to thu
future of the butter market; some d.
not feel quite so sure, pointing to liber
al receipts of the season, and to the fac
which is quite evident, that the advanced
rates are restricting sales. As to the re
ceipts, they consist very largely OF rol
butter From what we observe IN look
ing through the market, we judge tina
/ the quantity of packed arriving is .qult
small. Rolls are dull-they are yer
plenty and not often of very choic
quality; very few sales exceed 25c. In
