There is no change ia quotations.
Fine state sells as high as SOC. and
Welsh tubs 60 for 80 to $50, Fancy
reaches 80 to 40c. But the market is
duh, and the tendency is downward,
The Pr'odRce1'S' Price Current says:
BUYERS make their wants as small as
possible, and sellers do not urge their
goods upon customers, some of whom
are in arrears and unable to promptly
meet their old accounts owing to the
difficulty of obtaining accommodations
at the banks, of using their balances IN
der the quasi suspension, and of making
collections. Besides, some holders have
apparently lost confidence in the strength
of the situation. and are offering their
goods freely, IN some instances below
the rates generally asked. The butter
trade, however, has withsto0d the panic
nobly, no failures are reported, nor are
there any striking manifestations of
weakness in any quarter.
OF the foreign markets the Commercial
Regieao says Transactions are on
limited scale. Mail advices from Lon
don report the business passing in Irish
butter of limited character owing to
the high demands of agents also a con-
siderable decline in Friesland butter. )"
1t adds: I'm the jobbing department
the dullness in trade is beginning to be
seriously felt among receivers of fresh
pail butter, and to prevent aceumula-
ton of stock, concessions in price are
being made" r1
At st. Adams on Tuesday, owing to
the storm, the offerings of butter were
limited. We quote: Common to fair
90 to 26c medium to good % to 30c,
for fall made; choice, 30 to 35c, for
standard dairies selections, SO to So.
At Richmond, butter and cheese. were
active, although not as much offered as
usual ON account of its being very
rainy day, There were received about
800 boxes of cheese, which sold for II
to 111c. for farm; sage - to 13c. Of
butter 800 tubs sold: ordinary, % to
3Oc.; good, 80 to Bic; choice, 80 to 33c.
The Bulletin reviews the market as
follows:
Butter has been in ample supply, and
with less active demand, there is all on
the market of every grade, unless west
ern, that present demand will warrant,
and toward the close of the week the
market has eased back about 1c all
around. Still there is no anxiety for
the future and no pressing of stocks on
the market that amounts to anything
III nral MOO no 10 ton
dency of the market is steady, although
trade is dull at the moment Trade is
mostly turning on State goods. This is
feature of the market not new, for it
was the case late last year, and argues
in favor of a steady market for the
State crop, unless the farmers spoil the
market, of which they now appear to
be the masters, by demanding higher
prices and holding back to compel an
advance here, which will call in the Ca
madam crop to compete with them and
weaken the market again as it did last
year, from which break was only es-
capped by England competing with us in
the Canadian markets, owing to an un-
usual deficiency in Europe. Besides,
the State crop was more freely market
ed early in the season last year than this,
owing to the fact that the finer western
has been taking the place all summer,
this season, and there is more State back
now than at this time last year The
conclusion, therefore, seems to be that
present prices represent true values or
nearly so, and if speculation is kept out
of the market a steady, healthy trade
may be looked for the balance of the
season, upon about the present basis of
prices.
