THURSDAY, July 0.
Battcr and CheeSe.--Buttcr. The market
has not changed materially except that re
ccivcrs have been little more anxious tt
sell common and medium grades, which mr.,
coming in u little soft and beginning to accu
mulate. The supply of choice grades ha,
been about enough for the demand, ana
prices are sustained, with sales of New YorL
and Vermont mt % to 29c per ID. Occaslona
extra lots sold ut 30c, but 29c is the top price
Tor most of the receipts, and Mt the close
buyers hesitate to pay even that. For me-
dunn New York and Vermont 25c is AN eX-
tremc price, and plenty can be bought ut %
to 2lc per lib. Western is in good supply,
with fair To good lots selling ut 20 to 23c, and
common mostly at IS to l9c.
Cheese. The market is quiet ut Il decline
of &c per ID, and the indications are that
prices will be lower before the demand i'm
proves. There have been sales OF Vermont
choice factory at 1874 to llc per lib. Choice
Ohio factory has been selling freely at be,
and several good lots at IL TO l21c per h.

factory. per lb, 10 to l34c; fair TO good ~ to
l25c; Western choice factory l24 to l3c fair
To good 10 to l2c.
Flour and Grain.-Low grades of flour
have eased off 25c per bb, and it would be
difficult to effect large sales of choice brands
except at concession Of rs to soc per Dbl.
Holders are not forcing sales, however, and
II trade should start up after the Fourth, the
present weakness would soon disappear.
Fancy Minnesota brands cannot be quoted
over $40, except for u few llvorte makes;
and Tor st. Louis white wheats 80 is an out
side figure. The sales have b9en at $50 to
$50 per Dbl for Ohio, Michigan, and Indi-
ana white wheats, with few favorite brands
ut 80 per Dbl. Illinois white whents range
from 6.75 to $50; and st. Louis from 81 to

firm SINCE our last, and fair to good refining

81 to l0lc per Id, including the different

Other Produce. -Beans. The market has
been dull and round lots difficult TO place.
For choice mediums 50 per bu is the highest
that can be obtained, and not many buy
ers Mt that. We hear of no sales of pea
ut over $500, though some holders refuse |
TO sell under $2.7O por bu. Yellow Eyes

lght, buyers holding off as much rs possible,
md it is difficult to sell the best lots ut over
