CHEESE.

...,... ;..-..--... .'iI CHEESE. ..:..
2 At Utica, on Monday, the trade IN
farm dairy cheese was in small amount,
and tho shipment eastward by rail for
the day amounted to three hundred box
.es. The great part of the offering was
sent forward on commission. The prices
paid outright ranged from 11t9123c.
/. In the factory cheese trade there was
manifest disposition on the part of the
statesmen togid themselves of the stock,
and many fixed upon f93c as the point
upon which they would transact bust
ness. This was. evidently too high for
the ordinary run, Of best lots, and buy
ers refused to invest. Statesmen were
confident that the cheese would SOON be
worth. more than just at present, and
those thus believing retired from the
market early without making sales. An
other class preferred the present 10 the
chances of the future, and sent forward
their cheese on. commission or condition
al garantees The number of actual
sales of factory cheese were limited,
and the day may be chacterized as dull
and heavy. The offering was nearly
five thousand boxes, and about one-half
this amount was moved either as sales
or consignments. The prices paic in
sales quoted were 123Q13@ 134c. 1t
is believed that the New York buyers
will attend the market in person, two
| weeks longer, and thenceforth act only
| through tLeir local agents, as during
other years. -
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were %, 949
boxes, and the exports We're 19,799
boxes. The cable was quoted at 66@67s.
Gold was 1913, and the highest QUOTA
ton for cheese was 1444c. For the cor
responding period last year the receipts
were 81, 295 boxes and the exports were
14,4t5 boxes. The cable was 65s. Gold
closed at 1139, and the highest quota
ton for cheese was 15c. ..,t-..
The low price of gold, the tightness
| of the English money market, the diff
Guilty of negotiating exchange, and the
almost impossibility of getting freights,
even at the enormous figure of Sos, has
practically driven the shippers out of
the market. There is talk of even higher
freights, and prices continue TO slowly
reeede. ....-.ys.
I England has been. a good customer,
| this season, as all must admit How
much more of our cheese she can dis
| poses of, remains to be seen. If there is
anything near as much cheese i'll the
] country now as there was last year at
this date, then this seasons make has
been lighter, our impression is that the
factories. have sold off closer generally.
! But the sequel alone can determine for {
certainty.
The receipts in Boston for the pas
week, ending Saturday last, have beer
S,795 boxes, and 81 tons. We reduc,
our quotations &c per ID. all round
making 14e the highest price for fine
/ factory, but there is very little deman,
/ even al. that, and round lots coIld no
be forced off except at further conces
sions.. The decline in gold and the lin
] tied demand for export are the immedi
ate causes of the depression in Cheese
I and we do not see any prospect of (
i speedy Improvement.
