CHEESE.
No sales were made on Monday at
Utica, except one factory, reported at
13c. This figure was freely offered and
refused. Factorymen wanted 1870. The
offerings reached about 1000 boxes.
Both buyers and sellers are in guam
Diary. The principal puzzle to both is
the present stagnation in business and
the uncertainty as to how long it will
last and how far its effects will extend.
There are many things in favor of buy
ing freely at the figures asked, and the
same things in favor of holding for bet
ter prices. 1t is not probable that either
gold or exchange will be lower before
next spring, nor that there will be a de-
cline in the cable. The foreign make of
cheese is comparatively light, and it is
beginning to be conceded that our fall
make is light and the stock in the coun-
try less than it wasa year ago. Freights,
80s., are twice as high as they ought to
be, and must sooner or later decline.
But there is prospect of hard winter
for the mechanic and manufacturing
classes of both countries, which will de-
minish consumption-especially of the
lower grades. Cold weather is coming
on, and many tactorymen have not the
facilities for storing cheese. Dealers are
maneuvering to get prices down to a
point that will make it safe to buy up
and carry over stock. Thus the matter
stands. Where the deadlock and un-
certainty will end no one seems able to
foresee. Were it not almost everything
against decline, it would be but reason
able to suppose that the price of cheese
would sympathize with the general
shrinkage of values, caused by the tight
ness of the money market.
The receipts in Boston for the week
ending Saturday, Nov. LIST, have been
5,372 boxes. Trade continues rather
slow and prices are barely sustained.
The sales have been at 13@149c per lb.
for good to choice factory, with an oc-
casional fancy lot at 144c; but at the
close 14kc is the highest figure that can
be obtained for any kind. Inferior lots
have been sold at from 11@12c per lb.
The receipts at New York for the.
week ending Saturday last were SO, ACT
boxes, and the exports were 1904 boxes.
The cable was 70s. Gold closed at 108k,
and the highest quotation for cheese was
144c. For the corresponding period
last year the receipts were az, GOA boxes,
and the exports were 70, $40 boxes. The
cable was Cos. Gold closed at 11I9c,
and the highest quotation for cheese
was 15c.
The Coaa9peretgJ R6pifso of Saturday
says exporters for London have bought
a few fancies at lac, having the adYan-
tage Of freights direct for that city, and
that stock is held firmly at reduced fig
ures, though the market is duh. The
Producers Prise Current says there is
no speculative feeling in the cheese mar
ket, and prices must come down unless
something soon turns up to increase the.
demand The trade is buying only for
current use. III.

The receipts in Boston for the week
ending Saturday last have been Is, $50
packages against IS. 74t packages for
the. corresponding week last year, But
ter. continues to come in poor, and
strictly fine is. scarce and wanted at
full prices. Medium grades are accunnu-
lating, and will not bring within to &c
per pound of last weeks prices. The
sales of New York and Vermont fine
fall have been at SO to 38c in lots, and
a higher range for selections but it
has been difficult to get over CSC for
straight diaries, except for. something
very choice. Common to good grades
range from 20 to csc, with very little
on the market, selling under 22c per
pound. Western is in light receipt, with
sales principally at 90 to SOC per pound
a few lots of extra sold at 80 to 34c,
but not much of this kind has come
forward. The market closes quiet for
all kinds, except the very fin
est and lowest grades. ........s:--
At Utica il is said that the recent al
vance does not seem to be sustained,
though there is as yet no material fall
ing off in the quotations. Fancy is
worth doe. in New York Prime
State frkins bring 35@36c., and Welsh
tubs are quoted.at 33@25c for prime
The Commercial Re0ieaO of the 1st
says:
Receipts to-day, 3,468 packages.
The receipts for the week are the largest
of the season, and are affecting the mar
ket generally. Lower prices are accept
ed on good and medium qualities of
State, Welsh and Western; at the same
time the principal demand is for fancy
and fresh fall made, and the small pro-
portion of this class of butter in the
receipts caused prices to be maintained.
