Produce commission Merchant u John street, Boston
WEDNESDAY, June 3.
Btttter and CheeSc.--Butter. Notwithstand-
ing the falling of in receipts, the supply is
more than enough for the demand and prices
continue in buyers favor. Choice New York
and Vermont have been selling at 90 to 29c,
but 2Sc was an extreme price for round lots
yesterday, and the bulk of the sales were ut
25 to 27c per ID. the market closing dull
Western has been coming in rather poor this
week, and most of tho sales have been ut %
to 25c per ID, with an occasional choice lot
Mt 26c, which is the top figure. No grass but
ter OF any consequence has so far been re-
ceived, but some is expected next week, and
holders are anxious to sell off present stock,
which dealers are not willing to take except
ut lower prices.
The supply of choice factory cheese is
small, and l5t to Ice per lib have been readi-
ly paid for desirable lots, but inferior grades
are plenty enough and rule from 10 to de-
us to quality. Skinned continues dull and
difficult to sell. We quote: Choice factory,
per Id. l54 to Ice; fair to good, 10 to l5c;
common. 10 to l2ci Skim, to &C..
Flour and Grdin.-The market for flour
has been very dull during the week, and
prices have eased off % to SOC per Dbl all
round. Jobbers are purchasing only in lots
rs wanted, and forced sales of any consider
able quantity could not be made except mt
still greater concessions. The market is well
supplied with all kinds and stocks are accu-
mulating, while jobbers complain of u very
dull and unsatisfactory business. The sales
of fancy Minnesota brands have been Mt 80
to 1880 per Dbl, with few favorite brands
mt an advance on the latter rate: medium
and choice white wheat st. Louis Mt 81 to
10; Illinois, 6.75 to $50; and Ohio, Indiana,

thy with other markets, and the demand
from the trade has been moderate during the
week. We quote sales of mixed and yellow
Mt 81 to 00c; and rejected at So to 85c per bu,
rs to quality; but Mt the close these prices
could not be realized and the market may
be considered nominally IS TO SOC per bu for
mixed and yellow. Oats have been in fair
demand but Mt rather easier prices. We
