Butter and CheeSe.---Butter: The high
prices ruling in the country impart u steady
tone to the market here, but the demand
continues quite moderate and receipts have
not all been disposed of. The bulk of the
sales of New York and Vermont diaries
have been nj 30 to Bic per lb, but SAC per lib
has been an extreme pric" for finest lots,and
it is hard to find buyers who are willing to
20 over 33c. Tho sales of western range
from 20 to 30c per lib, and choice lots will
readily command the outside price if fully
up to the standard. The poorest lots on the
market will command 25c per H. Tho mar
ket closes steady but quiet.
Cheese: Receipts are more liberal, but
prices unchanged. Buyers in the country
are paying almost much us the current
prices here. and holders feel confident that
prices can be no lower, but the trade operate
very cautiously and there is not Us much
selling as there ought To he ut this season.
