Late Markets
CHEESE.

quite tame and the offerings light, scarce
ly reaching 5000 boxes. OF these about
5000 changed hands at 124@13c. The
ruling figure was 128c., only a few fac
tories getting 13c. There is little dis
position manifested by the factorymen
to rush their goods on the market.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were 47,672
boxes, and the exports were 45,71
boxes. The cable was Cos Cd. Gold
closed at 1113, and the highest quotation
for cheese was 1910. The receipts for
the corresponding period last year were

for cheese was 1910.
The recent panic has thus far had lit
| tie effect on cheese. The Producers
Prize Current says: Southern trade
seems to be unusually active. The west
ern markets continue firm with a good
inquiry from the southwest. We learn
that Ohio is not over-stocked with
cheese, but further west the supply is
said to be large. The stock in New
York and Vermont are believed by the
trade here to be very large"
A new authority on dairy matters has
made its appearance in New York city.
1t is the Commercial ReCieaO, which is
the official organ of the butter and
cheese exchange, just organized and 10
Gated on the west side of the city, on the
corner of Reade and Chambers streets.
The officers of this institution are
President, Walter S. Fairchild; sccrc-
tary, H. A. Pierce treasurer, Henry n.
Morgan. The Commercial Recielo gives
the reports of acctual transactions, daily,
and is supervised by a committee of the
exchange. We quote from the number
issued ON the 10Th:
The receipts are small and not equal
| to the demand, and the market closes
very firm. While shippers are anxious
| for cheese the coming week they refuse
/ to give orders, but seem to hope the re-
Ceipts will be heavy to enable them to
| turn the situation. There is more de
mand for clear favored July cheese at
| 125c as full figures. Home trade is more
active and 134c. is made fully for all
| fancy goods. The eastern trade not
! being able to secure the quality needed
from their sources of supply in Vermont
| and other sections, have been strong
buyers of useful goods at 13@134c. The
| southern demand is increasing, and as
| they need a small cheese, which neces-
! sarily cost more TO manufacture, they
command to-day, being scarce, from to
/ &c. advance on our outside quotations.
! Western cheese are in light supply.
BUTTER.
At st. Adams on Monday the market
was not very active, but there was a
| good demand for all of the better grades
We quote: Common to fair, 90 to 25c;
medium to good, 25 to soc; choice Clancy
daries) 81 to 35c; selections (fancy) 30
to 38c. A few lots of good butter,
quite a choice article, sold for 81 to 33c
At Richmond on Monday butter and
cheese active. About 600 boxes of
cheese offered and sold at 1O@11Bc for
farm make sage 12@13k. OF butter $50
tubs sold. Ordinery, 25@28; good, 80
| C0oI CHOICE, $4,000.
At Brandon on Friday The price rang
ed from 81 to Soc per pound. Amount
sold last week, about ], 100 pounds.
AT Utica on Monday there was an ad-
vance of 1@2c, and the market is more
active. Fancy sells in New York at So
| @4Oc. Fine State goes readily at 800
IS. Welsh tubs of fine quality bring 80
@32c. The Commercial Re0ieao, the or
gan of the new exchange, says, ''butter
continues steady at the recent advance,
with good demand for all grades. ANY
material increase of the supply of early
made State firkins would check any fur
Their improvement in that style of butter,
as the shipping outlet is limited to pres
ent supplies. Fresh half firkins, tubs
and State pals, going into the same
channels, sell freely at quotations, but
il in the least under quality, have to
compete with fine western, and buyers
in the interior should have this mind.
The Producers Price Current reviews
the market substantially as follows:
The butter market has been decidedly
more active during the past week for
nearly all grades, and most qualities
show an improvement in price In state
the advance is most noticeable in fine
retail grades, such as the best pals and
fresh favored selections of firkins and
half-firkin tubs. These have gained "a
&c. In some instances, pals have sold
as high as 40c., but that rate is generally
considered extreme and somewhat
strained. The demand for state has
been rather for single diaries and broken
lots than for lines, it is difficult to say
just how much the latter have advanced,
